SS 564:Part 1:2020 Sustainable Data Centres – Energy and Environmental Management System
Data centres are extremely energy-intensive facilities, with electricity accounting for more than 50% of the operating expenditure in a typical data centre in Singapore. To help these data centres reduce the energy consumption and operating costs, the Infocomm Media Development Authority of Singapore has developed a Singapore Standard for Green Data Centres.

Talk to our experts
SS 564 helps organizations to establish systems and processes required to improve the energy efficiency of data centres. The standard provides organizations with a framework (Plan-Do-Check-Act) and methodologies, as well as set of best practices to achieve continuous improvement in the data centre facilities.

With the revision, there will be reduce duplicated efforts for organizations seeking compliance to both SS 564 and ISO 50001 standard.
