4. SG-EEDC Background / ToR
Delivery of work item proposals addressing the following key items:
a taxonomy providing terms and definitions which cover the topic of data centres and energy efficiency for use in subsequent standardisation activity;
universally accepted KPIs, or algorithms that use the KPIs to create a figure of merit, that reflect the purpose and business model operated within the data centre;
practices which holistically balance the use of the energy efficient standardised products/solutions with the needs and capabilities of the data centre to use them.
In addition, the SG EEDC will undertake the necessary preparatory work to allow formal liaison with the policy-setting bodies and industrial consortia.

7. Recommendation
The ISO/IEC JTC 1 Study Group on Energy Efficiency of Data Centres recommends the establishment of a Working Group with the following terms of reference:
development of a data centre energy efficiency taxonomy and vocabulary
development of a holistic suite of metrics supporting universally accepted standardized Key Performance Indicators
development of best practices for energy efficient data centres
development of an energy management system standard specifically tailored for data centres
An objective in the development of these work items is harmonisation across
geographies and sectorial domains with the major actors.
