GB 40879-2021 specifies the maximum allowable energy efficiency values and energy efficiency grades for data centers, covering both newly built and existing facilities. It is applied in China to classify data centers into energy efficiency grades (1 to 3) based on their power usage effectiveness (PUE), with Grade 1 being the most efficient. This standard is used by data center operators, regulators, and auditors to evaluate, benchmark, and enforce energy consumption limits in the information technology and telecommunications industries.
