ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 39 was formed in November 2011 during the 26th Plenary Meeting of ISO/IEC JTC 1 in San Diego, California, with the intent of continuing ISO/IEC JTC 1's work in energy efficiency issues. [3] The subcommittee was established after Resolution 27 was approved by ISO/IEC JTC 1, which outlined the new subcommittee's terms of reference, proposed working groups (WGs), and expected liaison activity. A working group on Energy Efficient Date Centres and its terms of reference were proposed in this document, though the title of the working group was later changed to Resource Efficient Data Centres. [4] [5] ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 39 held its first plenary meeting in Redwood Shores, California in June 2012. [3] [5] The meeting concluded with the appointment of a chairperson to the subcommittee: director of global standards, codes, and environment at Schneider Electric, Jay Taylor. [3]
