Data centre PUE by region, 2020-2030
Although global PUE values are projected to decline, the pace of improvement through to 2030, with existing disparities between regions narrowing. By 2030, the global average PUE is projected to be lower than 1.3. heating) data centres. Asia Pacific's hot and humid conditions substantially increase cooling requirements, especially as facilities scale up. As discussed earlier, “free cooling", which relies on outside air, is less feasible in this region, compared with Europe and the United States, where temperate climates allow operators to leverage such techniques more effectively. However, it is important to note that many regions in the United States and Europe during the summer. The growing uncertainty around severe climate conditions
