3InefficientOlder inefficient Data Centre
2AverageData Centre with industry average efficiency
1.5EfficientNewer efficient Data Centre

Where PUE is Power Usage Effectiveness; a standard metric devised by the Green Grid as a guide to Data Centre efficiency.
PUE = (Total Facility Load (including cooling/lighting and electrical systems) + IT Load) 
            / IT Load.
