LG Uplus said that Pyeongchon 2 Center, located in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, has obtained 'ISO 50001,' the international standard for energy management systems from ISO. The company said the certification was the result of its efforts to improve energy efficiency.
Completed in 2023, Pyeongchon 2 Center has three basement levels and nine above-ground floors. The center has adopted a high-efficiency cooling system that uses cold outside air to reduce energy consumption. The company said it applied its own cooling technology from the design stage to efficiently manage heat generated by servers and improve cooling efficiency.
ISO 50001 is an international standard that sets requirements for establishing and operating an energy management system. The standard is intended to help organizations systematically manage energy use and continuously improve energy performance.
LG Uplus is verifying liquid cooling technology to respond to the growing number of high-heat AI servers in the center. The demonstration is taking place at Pyeongchon 2 Center, and targets next-generation cooling technologies such as Direct-to-Chip cooling, which cools server GPUs with coolant. LG Uplus plans to use the technology demonstration to improve the cooling efficiency and sustainability of AI data centers.
With the ISO 50001 certification, LG Uplus plans to continuously monitor energy use at major facilities, including data centers. It also plans to continue pursuing energy efficiency improvements by using high-efficiency equipment and AI-based operations technology.
Lee Woo-jeong, who is in charge of AIDC operations at LG Uplus, said the certification reflects the company's efforts to systematically manage energy use at major facilities such as data centers and to make continuous efficiency improvements. He added that the company plans to further reduce energy use and expand its shift to renewable energy in order to strengthen its foundation for sustainable management.
