Eureca Tool

Eureca Tool

The EURECA Tool is a web-based platform to help public procurers and data centre professionals self-assess the energy efficiency and profile of their data centres, and provides improvements and suggestions. The latter are based on the latest standards and research and industry outputs. In particular, the tool maps the Data Centre Maturity Model (DCMM) to the EU Code of Conduct for Data Centres (EUCoC) to provide tailored recommendations for data centres energy efficiency. This mapping connects two of the most relevant and important data centre energy related industry-class approaches in a way to increase practical usability for both. The mapping in the tool is therefore more user-friendly in real-life application as it is tailored to the specific assessment of a particular data centre.

This tool is developed by The EURECA project is part of the H2020 Program from the European Commission. It tackles the lack of knowledge and awareness on how to identify and procure environmentally sound and sustainable data centres. The work will encompass solutions for pre-commercial procurement (PCP) and procurement of innovative solutions (PPI).
The initiative is based on different services:

  • Procurement support in building business cases for data centre projects;
  • Technical support, though audits and energy consumption measurements and a range of guidance based on best practices & standards for the transformation of data centre;
  • Knowledge sharing encouraged through events and a platform dedicated to the project.
