Data centers, known for their significant energy consumption, can use 100 to 200 times more electricity than typical office spaces. This high energy use positions them as prime candidates for implementing energy-efficient design strategies, offering the potential for considerable cost savings and reduced electricity consumption. Despite this potential, the critical operations within data centers often place a greater emphasis on reliability and high power density capacity than on energy efficiency.
