Data centre power usage effectiveness (PUE) package

Build a comprehensive, standardized KPI framework for your data centre operations.

This three-standard package provides the essential framework for measuring and reporting data centre energy efficiency and renewable energy adoption.
ISO/IEC 30134-1 establishes the foundational methodology for all data centre KPIs, ISO/IEC 30134-2 defines Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) for energy efficiency measurement, and ISO/IEC 30134-3 specifies the Renewable Energy Factor (REF) for tracking green energy use.

What's included

ISO/IEC 30134-1 – Overview and general requirements + Amendment

  • Establishes the common structure, definitions, boundary conditions and requirements for measuring resource usage effectiveness and efficiency in data centres;
  • Creates a consistent foundation so all metrics in the 30134 series can be applied uniformly across different sites and time periods.

ISO/IEC 30134-2 – Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)

  • Defines PUE and its measurement categories, along with relationships to data centre infrastructure and IT operations;
  • Provides detailed guidance on measuring, calculating, reporting and interpreting PUE, including advanced PUE derivatives for deeper analysis.

ISO/IEC 30134-3 – Renewable Energy Factor (REF) + Amendment

  • Introduces REF as the key metric for quantifying the proportion of data centre energy sourced from renewables;
  • Connects efficiency measurement with renewable energy targets and broader decarbonization strategies.

Why choose this package

Build a consistent measurement foundation – ISO/IEC 30134-1 ensures PUE and REF use aligned definitions and boundaries, eliminating confusion and conflicting interpretations across teams and facilities.

Address both efficiency and sustainability – PUE measures how effectively energy is converted to useful IT work, while REF tracks the renewable content of that energy, giving you a complete picture for credible ESG reporting beyond efficiency alone.

Meet regulatory and stakeholder requirements – As legislation and industry standards increasingly reference ISO/IEC 30134 metrics, this package provides a recognized foundation for compliance.
 

Who this package is for

  • Data centre operators and colocation providers establishing structured KPI systems for energy and sustainability management;
  • Cloud and hyperscale operators requiring standardized metrics for internal monitoring and external stakeholder reporting;
  • Corporate ESG, energy and sustainability teams responsible for managing multiple data centre facilities or outsourcing relationships.
