How to Improve Data Center PUE

A breakdown of the non-IT infrastructure and underutilized assets operators can decommission or consolidate to improve PUE.

PowerMay 28, 2025

Removing Legacy UPS Systems

Outdated UPS systems waste energy as heat and inflate cooling load. Decommissioning them is a high-impact way to improve PUE.
