Optimising data centre efficiency and reliability with intelligent technology. Transform your data centre with CarbonOS.

Carbonova connects energy meters, SCADA and IoT data from the electrical and cooling infrastructure, and the facility’s power contracts to CarbonOS, a platform of AI agents. CarbonOS calculates PUE, energy per IT kWh and Scope 1 and 2 emissions, flags drift in consumption and ranks efficiency measures by cost and CO₂ avoided. It does not control the cooling system: it gives the operations team the analysis and the evidence to decide.

Almost entirely from electricity: the power that runs the IT equipment and the power used for cooling, power conversion and lighting, which PUE measures as total facility energy divided by IT energy. The industry average was 1.52 in 2026 (Uptime Institute, 2026), and data centres worldwide used 485 TWh in 2025 (IEA, 2026). Direct emissions come mainly from diesel backup generators and refrigerant leaks.

Large UK companies, data centre operators included, report their energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in the annual directors’ report under Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting, in force since April 2019; quoted companies report global energy use. UK-listed companies also report against UK SRS on a comply-or-explain basis for accounting periods starting on or after 1 January 2027, with a one-year relief for Scope 3 (FCA, 2026).

Yes. Business electricity carries the Climate Change Levy, with a main rate of £0.00801 per kWh from 1 April 2026 (GOV.UK, 2026), so cooling and power-conversion overheads are taxed along with the IT load. Carbonova measures PUE and energy per IT kWh from meter and SCADA data, separates IT from facility load and ranks efficiency measures by cost per kWh saved, so operators can see where the overhead, and the levy on it, can be cut.

CarbonOS matches metered consumption with power contracts and renewable energy certificates, calculates Scope 2 under both the location-based and market-based methods and keeps the evidence for every MWh claimed. This matters because the GHG Protocol is revising Scope 2: its consultation on hourly matching and deliverability closed in January 2026, and the final standard is expected in 2027. Keeping meter data at the highest resolution available already prepares operators for that change.

Yes. CarbonOS reads energy meters, SCADA and IoT data from the electrical and cooling infrastructure, invoices for power and generator fuel, and ERP systems such as SAP or Oracle, then normalises and versions everything. Each value keeps its lineage back to the meter or source invoice, a versioned emission factor and a change history, in line with the ISO 14064-3 verification standard, which serves auditors, colocation customers and investors.
