The European Commission has started a study recently, preparing the ground for the development of EU Green Public Procurement (GPP) criteria for Data Centres:
"The purpose of this project is to develop the EU GPP criteria to have up to date, clear and ambitious environmental criteria, based on a life-cycle approach and a scientific evidence base. Several environmental, safety, technical and functional aspects will be considered For more information about the project, please visit the project’s website here”.SMK is interested in this development, also with regard to the future perspective of the Milieukeur Data Centre Climate Control certification scheme. The current Milieukeur criteria are prolonged for one year until 1 July 2018 (without changes).
