Data Centers Going Green - How much can precise HVAC measurements influence energy consumption of cooling systems?
Cooling is critical to maintaining temperature and humidity at the optimal level for reliable server operations. However, cooling and air conditioning are second only to IT equipment in terms of power consumption in data centers, accounting for up to 40 percent of the total energy demand. It comes as no surprise, then, that even the tiniest variations in cooling temperature can have a significant impact on the overall running costs of a data center.
