Facebook opens up data center PUE, WUE metrics

As reported by Datacenter Dynamics' Yevgenly Sverdlik, "Facebook has open sourced the code for online Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) dashboards it has built for its own data centers, hoping that others will use the code to create their own."

“In the spirit of transparency, we encourage others to share these data as well,” Lyrica McTiernan, sustainability program manager at Facebook, wrote in a blog post. “To make this easier, we’re open sourcing the code for these dashboards so anyone can use it."
