ABSTRACT:
A data center control system includes a storage configured to maintain an emission usage value indicative of an estimated amount of greenhouse gas emission caused by consumption of power by resources within one or more data centers. The control system also includes a controller that may provide a signal to control an operation of at least one of the resources depending upon the indication of the estimated amount of greenhouse gas emission.
