Space Optimization

One of the consequences of rising equipment densities has been increased diversity within the data center. Rack densities are rarely uniform across a facility, and this can create cooling inefficiencies if monitoring and optimization are not implemented. For example, room cooling units on one side of a facility may be humidifying the environment based on local conditions, while units on the opposite side of the facility are dehumidifying.

Cooling control systems can monitor conditions across the data center and coordinate the activities of multiple units to prevent conflicts and increase teamwork.

In the Energy Logic model, an incremental savings of one percent is achieved as a result of system-level monitoring and control.
