Lesson 6 · 8 min

Energy Efficiency and Thermal Performance

PUE and its limits, where cooling energy goes, temperature optimisation, containment, and the challenges of high density.

Learning objectives

  • Calculate PUE and explain what it does and does not measure.
  • Identify the main energy consumers in a cooling system.
  • Explain how containment and higher supply temperatures improve efficiency, and distinguish established metrics from emerging concepts.
