The BCS and the Carbon Trust are developing a Java tool to simulate energy use in datacentres in the hope of driving down carbon emissions.
The Carbon Trust is financing the project, with the amount of funding directly related to the expected carbon savings. Funding is described as “substantial” though no figures have been disclosed.
style=”padding-left: 30px;”>The Carbon Trust said it has no measurement yet on how much carbon it expects to save through the project. The tool is expected to be ready for deployment in March 2009.
Very cool, I’ll need to read up on this, I wonder what standards for carbon measurement within IT we’ll see – how do we define the carbon footprint of the data center, and what is a good rating?
