Singapore Standard SS 715:2025 - Energy Efficiency of Data Centre IT Equipment 

Published

Derived from the Green Data Centre Roadmap, the new Singapore Standard “SS 715:2025: Energy Efficiency of Data Centre IT Equipment” is a Singapore standard that sets energy efficiency requirements for data center IT equipment, aiming to cut energy use by at least 30%. It is targeted at data centre operators, consultants, customers, and sustainability officers looking to optimise IT equipment procurement and operations for energy efficiency.
In its fact sheet, the standard aims to help users achieve at least 30% energy savings by:
<ul>
<li>Setting the Minimum energy efficiency performance level of IT equipment in data centres;</li>
<li>Establishing best practices and guidelines for selection and operation of IT equipment in data centres;</li>
<li>Support for higher temperature data centre operations.</li>
</ul>

Policy instruments are techniques or tools used by governing authorities to promote certain policies in order to achieve predetermined goals. Put simply, instruments are how a government tries to achieve its goals, with this taxonomy being focused on national policy instruments.

Risk is the potential for adverse consequences resulting from the dynamic interplay between (climate-related) hazards, exposure, and vulnerability of affected human or ecological systems.

Groups  of people who are adversely affected by climate change or the response to it

A set of principles, processes, and practices that build economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy.

Renewable energy means all forms of energy produced from renewable sources in a sustainable manner.

Fossil fuel is a generic term for non-renewable energy sources such as coal, fossil gas, and oil (including crude oil, and petroleum products), that can be used for electricity and heat generation. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons formed from pressurised and heated organic material buried over millions of years.

Molecules in the atmosphere that play a key role in the greenhouse effect by trapping heat radiating from Earth’s surface.

Area of the economy in which actors engage in identical or related activities.

In human systems, the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate change and its effects, in order to moderate harm, increase resilience or exploit beneficial opportunities. In natural systems, the process of adjustment to actual climate change and its effects; human intervention may facilitate adjustment to expected climate change and its effects.

The management and allocation of funds, assets and investments to meet various objectives

Jobs that contribute to preserving or restoring the environment. We include jobs which require a high amount of green skills or which spend much of their time on green activities, as well as jobs transforming polluting industries.
