Committees
There are currently three permanent
committees and any number of working committees as required. Working Committees are assembled to deal
with specific issues and only exist long enough to fulfill their charter.
Working Committee - Annual Practice Survey
This group is being assembled to determine the questions and format to be asked on the Green Data Center Alliance first
Annual Practice Survey. The intent is to create a survey which collects information about energy usage and related
technologies within the data center. The hope is to provide the industry with a source of data which can be used as a
baseline.
Working Committee - Green Data Center Standard & Certification
This group is being assembled to determine the individual requirements and maturity levels for a comprehensive standard
for green data centers. This standard will contain individual green practices at increasing levels of maturity present
in a green data center. It is our intent to model the standard after the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award.
Once completed, the standard will be made freely available to the community.
