Sustainable Architectural Approach for Efficient Data Storage Facilities
A 2-day green data centre design course, while not offered by EB Publishing, provides in-depth training on sustainable practices aligned with the Singapore Standard for Environmental Sustainability for Data Centres (SS564) and the Green Mark certification scheme for both new and existing data centres.
The detailed curriculum, based on typical course structures and recognized data centre sustainability courses, is outlined below:
Day 1: Introduction to Green Data Centre Design & Standards - Overview of data centre sustainability principles and the importance of environmental compliance - Introduction to SS564: scope, requirements, and its application to new and existing data centres - Green Mark Certification scheme: objectives, assessment criteria, and relevance to data centres - Energy efficiency design principles and best practices for cooling, power, and infrastructure based on SS564 and Green Mark - Case studies on the implementation of SS564 and Green Mark in data centres - Tools and methodologies for measuring environmental performance and energy consumption
Day 2: Detailed Design, Implementation, and Compliance - Green building materials and resource management according to Green Mark guidelines - Waste management, recycling, and sustainable operations in data centres - Managing existing facilities under SS564 standards: retrofitting and upgrading strategies - Monitoring, reporting, and documentation practices for certification and senior management reporting - Risk management and operational challenges in sustaining green compliance - Practical workshops or simulations on designing or auditing data centres per SS564 and Green Mark - Preparing for certification assessments and maintaining compliance over the data centre lifecycle
The course may also include training on energy management systems, environmental reporting, and leveraging technological innovations for green operations.
While precise syllabus details for SS564 and Green Mark for data centres are not explicitly found in the search results, the description aligns with recognized data centre sustainability courses like the Certified Data Centre Professional (CDCP) with environmental sustainability focus and standards training.
On a separate note, EB Publishing provides a platform for publishing news, events, jobs, and thought leadership. The operating costs of data centres are primarily attributed to energy expenditures, and the profitability of businesses is becoming increasingly dependent on managing energy costs in data centres.
- The course may provide training on leveraging technology, such as data-and-cloud-computing systems, to enhance energy efficiency and green operations in data centres.
- Recognized data centre sustainability courses like the Certified Data Centre Professional (CDCP) with environmental sustainability focus and standards training often incorporate technology in their syllabus to help students design sustainable data centres that align with industry standards and best practices.
