In case anyone else was wondering:
> Power usage effectiveness (PUE) is a metric used to determine the energy efficiency of a data center. PUE is determined by dividing the total amount of power entering a data center by the power used to run the IT equipment within it. PUE is expressed as a ratio, with overall efficiency improving as the quotient decreases toward 1.0.

- _flux 3y agoDoesn't sounds like it accounts for computing efficiency then? That would probably be quite impossible or at least very difficult anyway. Of course, it's still great for a datacenter to actually use its energy for running the computers instead of just AC and transformers. Heat recovery from datacenters for district heating is one way to increase the efficiency; I wonder if it impacts PUE?
