Data Centre
PUE Calculator
Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is a widely used metric for assessing the energy efficiency of data centres. In simple terms, PUE represents the ratio of the total power consumed by the facility, including cooling and infrastructure, to the power used solely by IT equipment. Before improving your data centre's efficiency, it's essential to understand your current PUE rating.
Enter your details here to calculate your PUE and gain insights into your energy usage. Use our calculator to determine your PUE today and get expert recommendations on optimising efficiency today.

What is a Data Centre Energy Audit?
A data centre energy audit is essential for identifying inefficiencies, reducing operation costs, ensuring long term sustainability and system service life. Our comprehensive audits provide a thorough analysis of your power distribution, cooling infrastructure, airflow management, and IT load efficiency, pinpointing energy waste and performance bottlenecks in your IT infrastructure.
With data centres consuming vast amounts of energy, even minor inefficiencies can lead to significant financial and operational impacts. Whether you're looking to lower carbon emissions, reduce downtime risks, or achieve sustainability certifications, our tailored audits provide a strategic roadmap to maximise efficiency and cost savings.
FAQs
What does your data centre energy audit work?
We follow a systematic, data driven approach to uncover inefficiencies and recommend the best solutions for your data centre. Our process includes:
- Initial Consultation & Energy Assessment Review of electrical costs, usage trends, and infrastructure setup. Identification of potential inefficiencies and areas of high energy consumption.
- On-Site Inspection & Data Collection In depth assessment of IT load, cooling systems, airflow management, and power distribution. Thermal imaging and real-time energy monitoring to detect energy leaks and overheating risks.
- Analysis & Reporting Detailed audit report with energy efficiency metrics, cost-saving opportunities, and sustainability recommendations. Breakdown of Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), cooling efficiency, and equipment performance.
- Actionable Recommendations Tailored strategies to optimise energy use and enhance existing mission critical systems.
- Implementation & Ongoing Support Assistance in deploying energy saving strategies. Continuous monitoring and ongoing maintenance support with periodic reassessment to ensure long term energy efficiency.
Will an energy audit cause any downtime for my data centre?
No. Our audits are designed to be non-intrusive. We use real time monitoring tools and conduct assessments during off-peak hours if necessary, ensuring that your operations continue smoothly.Getting started is simple. Call us on 0844 225 0094, email us at Enquiries@infiniti-it.co.uk, or schedule a free consultation through contact page. Our team will guide you through the process and help you take the first step toward optimising your data centre's energy efficiency.
How often should my data centre undergo an energy audit?
Energy audits should be conducted every one to two years or whenever there is a noticeable increase in energy costs, cooling inefficiencies, increased power consumption, or significant infrastructure upgrades or expansions. Regular audits help maintain optimal performance and cost effectiveness over a longer term.
How long does the energy audit process take?
The duration of the audit depends on the size and complexity of your data centre. Most audits take between one and four weeks, covering data collection, analysis, and reporting with follow up recommendations.

Why Data Centre Energy Audits Are Vital for Efficiency and Sustainability
In today's tech focused world, data centres are the driving power behind modern businesses such as supporting essential services and cloud based applications. While indispensable, these facilities are also among the most energy intensive operations globally and face mounting challenges to balance both performance and sustainability. Over time, data centres may have become inefficient and expensive to run.You need to make cost savings on your IT facilities, but how do you do this without first knowing exactly what’s wrong? The answer - a data centre energy audit. In this blog, we’ll explore the growing importance of energy efficiency and what data centre audits involve. If you require a data centre energy audit or have any questions regarding our services please contact our experts today.
