The U.S. Department of Energy already has put a lot of its own power into
its Energy
Star server and storage programs. Now it is undertaking an ambitious
educational program centering on data center energy saving.
Through its Save Energy Now program, the DOE is developing several training
certificate programs for data center managers that will focus on energy
efficiency. The first class to be offered is scheduled for Oct. 21, 2009, at Georgia Tech's
Global Learning and Conference Center
in Atlanta.
The goals of the new program are grand: Save Energy Now aims to reduce energy
use in U.S.
data centers by a full 10 percent in only two years.
For starters, Save Energy Now is targeting the following main data center
areas: power conversion and distribution, server load, computing operations,
cooling equipment, and alternative power generation.
The one-day DOE class, focusing on cooling equipment, will be hosted by DCJ Education. The course will be
included with DCJ Education's two training programs (Data Center Infrastructure
Awareness and Data Center Infrastructure Specialist) that will be offered
during the week of Oct. 19-23 at the same location. Attendees who register for
the weeklong DCJ Education program will receive the DOE training free of
charge.
The new daylong class will focus on energy efficiency for data center cooling
equipment. The growing cooling demand for data centers is creating a large
power demand, and this new one-day course will help data center professionals
receive the latest information and opportunities to save costs and become
energy-efficient.
"These courses are valuable for the IT or facilities professional. Both
entities share the same goals," David Roderick of Citizens Bank said in a
testimonial on the DCJ Education Website.

DOE one-day training event is $200, which includes breakfast, lunch, book and
other materials.
