Greenship Data Center – A Green Data Centre Standard for Indonesia
Keywords:
Green Data Center, Sustainabilty, Rating System, Digital TwinAbstract
Data centers are becoming increasingly important in today's digital age, as they offer a more sustainable and energy-efficient approach to managing and storing data. With the growing awareness of environmental impact and the need for sustainable practices, it is crucial to develop standardized rating tools for green data centers. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the development process of green data center standard rating tools, tailored to the unique context and challenges faced by Indonesia. The Greenship Data Center (DC) is developed by a collaboration between the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBC Indonesia) and IPUSTAH-ID (Ikatan Profesional Pusat Data Hijau Indonesia - Association of Indonesia Green Data Center Professionals). This paper also explores the key components and considerations for developing the Greenship DC. Furthermore, challenges and potential solutions will be addressed for implementing these rating tools in the Indonesian context.References
