The paper reviews 194 papers on using artificial intelligence to optimize data center energy use, coding 63 of them. It finds that most control studies validate only in simulation, none consider water withdrawal or embodied carbon, and savings estimates overlap across methods, preventing ranking. The authors propose CLEAR‑DC, a framework that links control and workload demand through elasticity, reports net benefits, and records energy, carbon, water, embodied share, and validation venue.

CityLearn v3 is a configurable simulation and evaluation framework designed for realistic control studies of renewable energy communities (RECs). It models dynamic participation, equipment availability, service deadlines, and data quality, allowing for flexible-load deadlines, demand-response requests, local energy sharing, and failure scenarios within a single environment. The framework records controller inputs, distinguishes requested actions from applied ones, and provides reference controllers, performance indicators, and trajectory exports for comprehensive comparisons across communities.
