Google Efficient Datacenters

Providing users with fast, innovative products requires significant computing power. Data centers—large facilities containing lots of computers—account for most of our energy needs. We take our energy use seriously and Google has focused on designing systems that use as little energy as possible.

Our five step plan is:
  • Minimize electricity used by servers
  • Reduce the energy used by the data center facilities themselves
  • Conserve precious fresh water by using recycled water instead
  • Reuse or recycle all electronic equipment that leaves our data centers
  • Engage with our peers
