Data Centers

Energy-intensive facilities such as data centers offer significant opportunities to improve system efficiency and reduce costs. Data centers consume tremendous amounts of energy – upwards of 30% of an organization’s annual energy usage – resulting in extremely large utility bills and continuous maintenance. Numerous studies conducted by national labs such as the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have identified IT facilities as critical targets for energy reduction. In fact, it is estimated that energy conservation measures in data centers can produce energy savings in excess of 50%.

Data center technology has advanced rapidly over the last decade. Clark Energy Group constantly monitors the latest technology trends and can identify the best solutions for your facility. We will work under the constraints of your system requirements to maximize energy and cost savings, using a combination of techniques including:
