The data center industry has been searching for efficient and cost-effective power and cooling solutions, and in recent years, increased environmental, social and governance (ESG) and sustainability concerns have required data centers to focus more on mitigating the environmental impact of their operations.

As an energy-intensive industry, data centers are expanding their capacity with the advancement of AIGC technology to meet the growing digital needs of enterprises and society.
In doing so, Vertiv (NYSE: VRT) is not only working to improve energy efficiency, but also to explore how to reduce or avoid the negative impact of data centers on climate change while contributing to the continued growth of the industry.
Energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions
A key measure of environmental impact is Scope 2 emissions, which are greenhouse gas emissions generated by businesses through the use of electricity. When a business uses electricity** from fossil fuels, the more it consumes, the more Scope 2 emissions it produces. Considering that fossil fuels account for more than 60% of global electricity generation, most of the electricity in data centers** contributes to Scope 2 emissions.
According to Uptime Institute's 2023 Global Data Center Survey, the data center PUE has been flat at 158。However, the report also shows that in the case of the use of carbon-based energy sources and consistent IT loads,pueforof data centers compared topueforof data centers, able to reducescopeemissions
Energy-efficient products and solutions
Vertiv offers a wide range of technologies and solutions to help customers improve the energy efficiency of their power and cooling infrastructure.
For example, in the field of power supply, we have not only improved the operational efficiency of the UPS system across the entire product line, but also developed innovative technology in dynamic mode, which makes the UPS efficiency close to 100%.
VertiV[GF]2122[ GF] Liebert[GF]AE[ GF] EXL S1 series high-frequency integrated high-power UPS
Our VertiV[GF]2122[ GF] Liebert[GF]AE[ GF] EXL S1 UPS dynamic mode achieves up to 99% operating efficiency.
These solutions not only help customers reduce electricity consumption and Scope 2 emissions, but also enable the use of environmentally friendly electricity such as fuel cells.
More efficient resource utilization
In some areas, the efficient use of water resources is important. Most data center cooling systems are cooled by using water. Enterprises are currently facing the challenge of building efficient data centers in water-constrained areas by deploying data centers closer to users to reduce latency.
In response to this challenge, we have innovatively launched the VertiV[GF]2122[ GF] Liebert[ GF]AE[ GF] DSE integrated fluorine pump free cooling solution to achieve the ultimate energy saving of waterless data centers. with the traditional1 mwData centers that use chilled water systems compared tovertiv[gf]2122[/gf] liebert[gf]ae[/gf] dse 250kwThe free cooling system can save up to up to per year10,000 liters of water. Since its introduction a decade ago, the system has saved billions of litres of water worldwide.
Design principles that take into account both efficiency and the environment
In order to balance efficiency and the environment, we follow the following five design principles in the continuous development of new products and solutions:
1. Design energy-saving and water-saving solutions.
2. Create durable devices that are both resilient and highly available.
3. Limit manufacturing processes that adversely affect the environment, and increase the use of high-quality materials in products and product packaging.
4. Support remote troubleshooting, optimize services, improve and reduce the impact of service practices on the environment, such as remote troubleshooting based on monitoring data, and repair on the first visit to reduce the number of visits.
5. Reuse, refurbishment or ** equipment and materials.
