Dear all,

We are trying to calculate the IT & electricial energy consumption of a data center, using the Minimum Energy Performance Data Center Calculator. However, seems like it determins the IT annual energy usage by multiply the peak IT load with 8760 hours. Another calculator we used parallely (Data Center Power Train) gives a much lower energy usage as it involves utilisation rate, idle power and number of servers needed in the calculation.

So seems like the IT energy usage is overestimated with the newer version calculator. Did anyone encouter this issue as well?

Any reply and help is greatly appreciated.

Best,
