DUBAI, UAE, 28 September 2023: Nlyte Software, a data centre management software, a part of Carrier Global Corporation, announced the release of its Data Centre Sustainability Compliance Reporting solution. Making the announcement through a Press release, Nlyte said the new solution is an all-in-one platform with a dashboard for sustainability scores and a reporting framework with industry-defined calculations and metrics to streamline environmental compliance reporting.

According to Nlyte, the Data Centre Sustainability Compliance Reporting solution includes the Data Centre Sustainability Dashboard, featuring real-time insights into industry-defined metrics, including energy consumption, power usage effectiveness, total carbon dioxide, carbon usage effectiveness, water usage effectiveness, cooling efficiency, average delta temperature and underutilised servers. The company further said its new integrated reporting tools use these critical measurements to deliver a proprietary Data Centre Sustainability Index™ (DCSI) composite score.

Nlyte said the DCSI score provides an overview of a data centre’s sustainability performance to track and assess metrics effortlessly, and DCSI is calculated by comparing the data centre’s performance to industry-defined sustainability benchmarks.

Enzo Greco, President, Nlyte Software, said: “Data centres have never been more strategic and critical, yet they have never faced greater scrutiny as sustainability reporting becomes mandatory. To solve the complexities ahead of changing standards and developing regulations in different jurisdictions, we developed the necessary tools to track and comply with climate risk disclosures and other reporting regulations. The DCSI score is a game-changer offering valuable insights that significantly enhance sustainability decision-making processes, while Nlyte’s reporting framework automatically updates as global compliance reporting continues to unfold.” 

The company further said that as the regulatory landscape evolves with greater emphasis on sustainability, data centre operators face navigating multiple emerging reporting frameworks, including the EU Energy Efficiency Directive, Singapore’s Data Centre Energy Efficiency Scheme, Australia’s National Built Environment Rating System and in the United States, California Title 24 and the SEC’s proposed rule on climate-related disclosures. Its comprehensive solution, Nlyte added, will provide a complete set of functions enabling organisations to address regulatory compliance with confidence. 

Furthermore, Nlyte said the compliance reporting framework provided by Nlyte’s solution equips organisations with the calculations, metrics and trends necessary to support compliance reporting and sustainability assessments mandated by emerging legislation. By leveraging this innovative solution, Nlyte added, data centre operators can streamline their reporting processes and focus on meaningful sustainability improvements.
