Phase I Accomplishments Phase I Activities Included: Review of energy efficiency (EE) policies in India Review of global data center standards Analysis of international standards relative to the Indian context Stakeholder engagement through an online survey and in-person workshop Phase I Report 5

Phase II Activities 6 Phase II built on Phase I findings related to international best practices and how EE standards in India could better address data centers. The Indian standards central to Phase II were: the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC). the Perform, Achieve & Trade (PAT) market-based scheme. Phase II Activities Included: Development of recommendations for incorporating data center specific requirements into the 2016/2017 revision of the ECBC. Evaluation of various Energy Performance Metrics for reporting data center energy efficiency under a PAT-type programme. Phase II report and Phase II white paper

Phase III (Current Activities) 7 Data Centre specific User Guide on meeting ECBC standards as well as recommendations and resources to achieve best practices. Guide includes level 2 (stretch) and level 3 (superefficient) recommendations to augment ECBC Code Compliance requirements: Recommended for adoption as ECBC and Super-ECBC requirements in the future. Can be used as a guide to achieve international best practices. Can be used in rating systems such as the IGBC Green Data Centre Rating System. Can be adopted as a corporate Standard. Identified and documented case studies to highlight energy efficiency best practices in the Indian context (supporting Guide recommendations) Conduct workshops and other outreach activities

Data Centers and ECBC 8 Latest ECBC was issued in 2017 Data centers are no longer excluded from the ECBC But few standards are specifically relevant to data centers, and some are a less-than-perfect fit The ECBC allows for three levels of performance ECBC Code Compliance ECBC SuperECBC Generally, data center-specific standards were not developed for the higher levels by the 2017 ECBC

User Guide Overview 9 Purpose: Cross-cutting identification of ECBC17 requirements relevant to data centers Recommendations for more relevant requirements and higher levels of performance Tips and Best Practices for implementation and operational excellence Highlight resources to help users achieve the target efficiency levels Target Audience: Indian Data Centre Owners, Developers, Designers, and Operators https://datacenters.lbl.gov/resources/ ecbc-2017-data-center-user-guide
