Datacenters are at the heart of discussions when it comes to energy consumption. To better tackle the challenges facing the field, the Swiss Datacenter Efficiency Association (SDEA) was born in 2020. This alliance of industry and academic organizations came together to create a single, integrated approach to certifying datacenter efficiency and emissions in Switzerland.
But this idea didn't come about by chance, it was born out of a challenge issued by digitalswitzerland in 2018. The aim of the challenge was for Switzerland to become an attractive country for hosting datacenters by setting up a label to certify green datacenters.
