Meeting EED reporting requirements

From September 2024, data center owners and operators with at least 500 kilowatts of IT capacity in the EU must report on their data center’s performance for the previous year (starting with 2023 data).

Reporting structures and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) defined by the EU include building information, domain of control, operational data, and other KPIs such as space, power and energy, cooling, renewable energy, heat reuse, ICT capacity and networking.

How XpedITe can help you

XpedITe’s comprehensive Sustainability Reporting module is EED compliant, made possible through direct integration (monitoring of the physical equipment) and from other data sources, such as Datawarehouse, BMS, EMS, Virtualization Systems, Networking Systems, and many more.

Using the ISO/IEC 30134 guidance

The ISO/IEC 30134 series of standards provides a well-defined framework of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that are essential for measuring the sustainability and efficiency of data centers.


Together, these KPIs offer guidance and a holistic view of a data center's operational efficiency and environmental impact. They are designed to measure critical aspects such as energy consumption, the use of renewable energy sources, the effectiveness of IT equipment, and the optimization of various resources, including water and energy reuse practices.


Standardizing ISO/IEC 30134 Key Performance Indicators


The standardization of these KPIs under the ISO/IEC 30134 series ensures that data centers across the globe can measure and report their sustainability and efficiency using a consistent and internationally recognized framework. This uniformity is crucial for benchmarking performance, sharing best practices, and striving for continuous improvement within the industry. By adhering to standardized metrics, data centers can also demonstrate their commitment to sustainable operations to stakeholders, regulators, and customers.

EU EED Tasks

The Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) was originally adopted in 2012 to help the EU Member States make energy efficiency improvements and place an upper limit on total EU energy consumption. Guidance has been developed and provided to help Member States collectively meet specified goals.


To support the Member States, there are three tasks that the EU is undertaking.


Term Brief Last Updated Description
EED Task A Options for a reporting scheme October 2023 Guidance from the EU on implementing an effective reporting scheme. Eventually, each Member State can refer to this guidance to define their own requirements as to what will be reported and how.
EED Task B Options for minimum performance standards December 2023 Guidance from the EU on minimum standards that can be adopted by Member States for application.
EED Task C EU repository for the reported data November 2023 Guidance for companies that will describe possible structures for an EU-wide repository as to which data should be reported, showing specifically what is recommended for EED.
