Pledge your Data Center to become more Green

Posted by computerrooms in federal programs on December 28th, 2009

Department of Energy

Tell the Energy Secretary about your Green plans

Join forces with OMS in Your Data Center, LLC by pledging to improve the energy efficiency in your data center by 30% over the next ten years. This voluntary program is akin to the Save Energy Now LEADER Program launched by the Department of Energy in December 2009.

This commitment to energy efficiency not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions, it shows the entire data center industry and the Information Technology business community your interest to leverage energy efficiencies in the data center which can secure employment, improve budget performance,  become more competitive, and reduce the carbon footprint of your data center.

The Secretary of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Cathy Zoi has set the standard by announcing the DOE Save Energy Now LEADERSHIP Program this month (12/2009). Now I send this challenge to every data center manager and CIO to follow suit – Save Energy now.

This is a voluntary program through OMS in Your Data Center, LLC. Go to www.ComputerRooms.comand select the ‘contact’ tab, provide your name, E-mail, and enter a subject of ‘Save Energy Now Pledge’, then click ‘other’. Under ‘your message’ provide your company information and commentary on your pledge to reduce the energy intensity of your data center over the next 10 years by 30%. Please provide adequate contact information for tracking and reporting. Pledge each data center location separately.

Every time we complete 100 new data center pledges, a list of the participating company names and the state in which they reside will be published. Also, the list will be sent to the Secretary of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and the DOE proclaiming the data center industry is taking seriously the need for energy efficiency and our commitment and pledge for reducing green house gas emissions.
