Best Practices Guide for Energy-Efficient Data Center Design: Revised March 2011-Brochure
March 14, 2011
This guide provides an overview of best practices for energy-efficient data center design that spans the categories of IT systems and their environmental conditions, data center air manage-ment, cooling and electrical systems, on-site generation, and heat recovery.
This guide provides an overview of best practices for energy-efficient data center design that spans the categories of Information Technology (IT) systems and their environmental conditions, data center air management, cooling and electrical systems, on-site generation, and heat recovery. IT system energy efficiency and environmental conditions are presented first because measures taken in these areas have a cascading effect of secondary energy savings for the mechanical and electrical systems.
This guide concludes with a section on metrics and benchmarking values by which a data center and its systems energy efficiency can be evaluated. No design guide can offer ‘the most energy-efficient’ data center design but the guidelines that follow offer suggestions that provide efficiency benefits for a wide variety of data center scenarios....(read more...)
