Our certification services are conducted in accordance with several key standards for the data center industry:

EN 50600 is a comprehensive European standard for data centers that defines requirements for planning, building, and managing their infrastructure, including power supply and cooling systems.

BREEAM New Construction For data centers, BREEAM is a holistic sustainability assessment method that evaluates a wide range of impacts related to procurement, design, and construction. BREEAM certifies buildings that exceed regulatory requirements by contributing to environmental protection, occupant comfort, and human health. Credits are awarded across the following categories:

• Energy – operational energy use and CO₂ emissions
• Management – management policy, commissioning, site management, and procurement
• Health & Well-being – indoor and outdoor factors such as noise, light, and air quality
• Transportation – transportation-related CO₂ emissions and location-related factors
• Water – energy consumption and efficiency, inside and outside the building
• Materials – embodied impacts of building materials, including lifecycle carbon
• Waste – resource efficiency in construction and minimization of operational waste
• Land Use – type of site and building footprint
• Pollution – outdoor air and water pollution
• Ecology – ecological value, conservation, and enhancement of the site

Beyond the operational efficiency of a data center, ENEL PS believes it is equally important to consider the facility’s full lifecycle and its broader environmental impact. BREEAM certification provides exactly that perspective. To date, over 110,000 buildings worldwide hold a BREEAM certificate, with more than half a million registered for certification.

Uptime Institute – ENEL PS is one of only four exclusive Uptime Institute partners in Europe, enabling us to guide data centers through the entire Uptime Institute standardization and certification process.
