Data Center Energy Efficiency Market Assessment Report

This is the first project report for the Code Readiness Data Center Energy Efficiency project, which aims to identify, prioritize, and support the adoption of updates to Title 24, Part 6, Title 20, ASHRAE (Standard 90.4), and other applicable regulations. This report includes findings from a market, literature, and data review along with interview and survey data from subject matter experts. The report outlines key takeaways for policymakers along with energy efficiency measures and programmatic initiatives that the project team recommends for further analysis and future inclusion in codes and standards. The results offer actionable insights and provide a foundation for future research and development in this area, including field data collection that the research team will complete as the next phase of the project.
