31. Agenda
● HOW IS ENERGY EFFICIENCY DEFINED?
● POWER AND COOLING EFFICIENCY CALCULATIONS
● ECA IS FOR ENERGY SAVING TECHNOLOGY
● WHAT QUALIFIES ?
● ENERGY TECHNOLOGY LIST ( ETL)
● HOW CAN CUSTOMER CLAIM ECA ?
APC by Schneider Electric – Giles Pattison – 7th April 2011

32. How is efficiency defined?
Power usage effectiveness (PUE) and Data Center infrastructure efficiency (DCIE)
 PUE is a ratio of total power coming into the data center to the power going
to the IT.
 For example if it takes 1.5 times as much energy to run your data center as
than is required to for just the IT equipment.
 DCIE is represented as a percentage of IT load power divided by total data
center power, and is the inverse of PUE.
 Higher DCIE values indicate a more efficient data center.

33. ● Vary parameters
● Experiment with “What if”
Data Center Capital Cost ● Make tradeoffs
Power/cooling efficiency
Carbon footprint
Make informed decisions
BEFORE you invest in your data center

34. Enhanced Capital Allowance
(ECA) Scheme for Energy
Saving Technologies
APC by Schneider Electric – Giles Pattison – 7th April 2011

35. Enhanced Capital Allowance for energy-
saving technologies
● The Carbon Trust manages the Energy Technology List (ETL) and promotion
of the ECA scheme on behalf of Government.
● To help bring about a low carbon economy and reduce UK CO2 emissions by:
1. Influencing the design, availability, and uptake of the most energy-efficient
equipment types within the remit of the scheme;
2. Promoting the ETL as a principal procurement tool for designers,
specifiers and purchasers interested in energy-saving capital equipment.
APC by Schneider Electric – Giles Pattison – 7th April 2011

36. ETL – Technology Groups
● Air-to-air energy recovery
● Automatic monitoring and targeting equipment (
● Boilers
● CHP
● Compact heat exchangers
● Compressed air equipment
● Heat pumps for space heating
● HVAC Equipment
● Lighting
● Motors and Drives
● Pipe insulation
Businesses may claim
● Refrigeration equipment
100% first-year capital
● Solar thermal systems allowance
● Warm air and radiant heaters
● Uninterruptable Power Supply

38. FINANCIAL GAINS FOR CUSTOMER
DUE TO ECA SCHEME
●EXAMPLE of ECA claim : If Client X made a profit of
£100,000 during current tax year and had purchased ECA
certified UPS project worth £70,000 during the same tax
year, then Client X will pay tax on £30,000 (£100,000 less
£70,000) only, instead of £100,000
●** UPS Project cost benefit includes : UPS systems,
delivery & offloading including craneage, direct install cost
covering cabling, battery build, project management, any
site modifications and UPS project specific professional
fees too.
APC by Schneider Electric – Giles Pattison – 7th April 2011

39. FINANCIAL GAINS FOR CUSTOMER
DUE TO ECA SCHEME
● Usual rate of capital allowance for plant and machinery is
20% p.a. on sliding scale basis and is spread over a
number of years.
●However with ECA the customer is allowed by HMRC to
use up the full cost of the UPS project ** as capital
allowance within the first year of purchase.
●This ECA scheme indirectly boosts the cash flow for the
customer for the first year.
●The ECA allowance is written off against customer’s own
taxable profit.
