Introduction
The DOE "Save Energy Now" program has partnered with the industry in the development of a process leading to practitioners becoming qualified to evaluate the energy status and efficiency opportunities in data centers. The key objective of the Data Center Energy Practitioner (DCEP) Program is to accelerate energy savings in the dynamic and energy-intensive marketplace of data centers.
