Beyond PUE: Energy efficiency strategies for the AI‑era data centre
As rack densities rise, grids feel the strain and regulations tighten, efficiency is no longer a “nice to have” - it’s the license to grow. This panel cuts through the PUE headline to examine what actually moves the needle in modern facilities: cooling architecture choices, higher operating temperatures, heat‑reuse potential, smarter airflow management, and electrical efficiency from UPS topologies to power distribution and harmonics. Operators, engineers and technology vendors will share how they benchmark, measure and verify performance, where PUE still matters (and where it misleads), and how to balance efficiency with resilience, uptime and cost.
