Environmental awareness: reducing the energy consumption of CERN’s IT infrastructure
Energy consumption related to data processing is one of the main environmental impacts of CERN’s IT infrastructure and activities. Around 75% of the energy used in data centre activities at CERN is for data processing, while the remaining 25% is dedicated to data storage. As shown in this infographic, three main actors could contribute to

Environmental awareness: CERN’s process for minimising environmental noise
In the design phase of a new project, CERN takes into account the 2018 reference levels for noise limits, the new noise source characteristics, and noise from existing infrastructure. The data is then processed by a 3D georeferenced modelling software. Mitigation measures are defined where needed, based on the results of the modelling. Before the
