Equipment
Our goal is to facilitate transparent communication of embodied carbon and establish market-based incentives for the adoption of zero-carbon equipment.
The Equipment Working Group (EWG) is focused on decarbonization of data center energy-intensive components and processes that make up the entire facility.
We work towards our goals by:
- Identifying energy-efficient technologies and practices, to highlight environmental and financial benefits
- Showcasing reductions in energy consumption and associated carbon emissions through the adoption of energy-efficient hardware, such as servers and cooling systems, and the implementation of optimized configurations and utilization practices.
- Advocating for the use of renewable energy sources to power digital infrastructure, along with promoting the development and adoption of carbon-neutral technologies.
- Collaborating with industry stakeholders on continuous research into innovative solutions.
- Supporting both an Equipment-specific and broader iMasons Climate Accord Maturity Model
