Abstract
A system and method of measuring efficiency of a datacenter is provided. The method includes the acts of identifying at least one space within a model of a datacenter, the at least one space including a first equipment group consuming at least one shared resource provided by at least one shared resource provider, determining an amount of power consumed by the first equipment group, determining an amount of the at least one shared resource consumed by the first equipment group, determining an amount of power consumed by the at least one shared resource, calculating a loss of the first equipment group, and calculating an efficiency metric based on the amount of power consumed by the first equipment group, the amount of power consumed by the at least one shared resource provider, the loss of the first equipment group, and the loss of the at least one shared resource provider.
