Reducing Carbon Footprint in IT Data Closets: A Case Study on the Impact of Installing Lighting Switches with Motion Sensors
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The increasing demand for digital services has led to a significant growth in the number of data centers and IT infrastructure. However, this growth has also resulted in a substantial increase in energy consumption, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. This paper presents a case study on the impact of installing lighting switches with motion sensors in IT data closets on carbon footprint reduction. Our results show that this simple and cost-effective solution can lead to significant energy savings and a reduction in carbon emissions.
