In an effort to reduce electricity consumption, in this paper, we propose a grid scheduling algorithm that takes advantage of a prior Gas-District Cooling Data Centre model to reduce the cooling energy consumption. The scheduling algorithm is an extension of a prior version that has been shown to perform with competitive average turnaround time, waiting time and maximum tardiness in heterogeneous grid environments. Experimental analysis shows that the proposed method was able to reduce cooling electricity consumption by 20. Further, by increasing the maximum allowable temperature by 1 degree, the proposed method was able to save an additional 3. © 2015 The Authors. date: 2015 publisher: Elsevier B.V. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84962859984&doi=10.1016%2fj.procs.2015.10.011&partnerID=40&md5=ec2df4cbc6c1de38a3db66f26310bfd1 id_number: 10.1016/j.procs.2015.10.011 full_text_status: none publication: Procedia Computer Science volume: 69 pagerange: 104-115 refereed: TRUE issn: 18770509 citation: Haruna, A.A. and Jung, L.T. and Zakaria, N. and Okitsu, J.
