Overview
EN 50600-4-3:2016/A1:2019 (CLC) is a CENELEC amendment that updates Part 4-3 of the EN 50600 series: Renewable Energy Factor for data centre facilities and infrastructures. Published January 2019, this amendment revises measurement and calculation rules to re-align the Renewable Energy Factor (REF) KPI with recent findings from JTC 1/SC 39. It updates clause 5.2 (total data centre energy consumption) and Annex B (examples of REF calculation), and clarifies metering and conversion practices for fuels and thermal energy.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope and purpose
- Defines how to quantify the proportion of renewable energy used by a data centre (the Renewable Energy Factor).
- Aligns REF methodology with JTC 1/SC 39 KPI developments.
- Fuel metering and conversion
- Gaseous and liquid fuels must be metered in kWh or converted to kWh using heat-of-combustion values.
- Amendment provides example conversion values (as given in the amendment): diesel 9.9 kWh/l; gas 10.5 kWh/[unit as specified]; hydrogen 38.9 kWh/kg; bioethanol 6 kWh/l.
- Thermal energy and cooling fluids
- Energy contribution of cooling fluids is measured via heat meters (flow rate × ΔT) and multiplied by a system-specific conversion factor X.
- Conversion factor X for thermal-to-electrical equivalent should be supplied by the energy provider; if unavailable, a default X = 0.4 is applied.
- Technical subsystems and co-generation
- On-site cogeneration and other technical subsystems must have meters at their output and are treated as external to the main data centre system for REF calculations.
- Renewable energy certificates and accounting
- Annex B examples (including updated Figure B.4) illustrate handling of locally generated energy sold to utilities and the retirement of renewable energy certificates (RECs) by the data centre.
Applications - who uses this standard
- Data centre operators and facility managers calculating and reporting renewable energy share.
- Energy and sustainability managers aligning REF with corporate KPIs and regulatory reporting.
- Design and commissioning engineers specifying metering, energy conversion parameters, and on-site generation interfaces.
- Auditors, consultants and certifiers assessing compliance with EN 50600 REF methodology and comparing KPI results.
- Procurement teams when negotiating power purchase agreements (PPAs) and REC handling.
Related standards
- EN 50600 series - broader guidance on data centre facilities and infrastructures.
- JTC 1/SC 39 - international committee whose KPI findings prompted the amendment.
