AUSTRALIA accredited by the government . They audit the meters and equipment , and average out your energy load over the year minus your IT load , which gives you a reliable PUE rating .”
In June 2016 , Fujitsu achieved an Australian first , gaining NABERS Energy ratings across its six data centres . It publishes all its ratings on the NABERS website , so all its clients can be assured it ’ s achieved an average rating of 3.75 stars . Its target is to take the portfolio up to 4.5 by 2020 .
Suddenly the language changed , says Stewart “ The customers get it : it gives them a credible assurance of our energy efficiency efforts and also provides us with a common language that works globally . And the internal stakeholders get it – I hear our data centre people discussing what they need to do to get a half star better . We were the first to adopt it , the first to submit a portfolio , and we are now driving the market to make sure our customers ask for a NABERS rating if they are looking for hosted space .
“ More than that , we are working closely with state bodies to ensure it is adopted and taken up as a standard ‘ business as usual ’ practice .” A
