"Gives data center owners and operators a clear understanding of the energy-saving opportunities that exist for both the data center facility and the IT equipment and covers the mechanical and electrical systems of the building as well as the most promising technologies. Can be used for conducting preliminary energy assessment"--
A typical data processing and telecommunications facility uses about 300 times more electricity per year than an entire office building, and as the price of energy and environmental concerns both continue to rise, owners and operators of such facilities are seeking ways to cut back consumption without jeopardizing the reliability of the data. Engineers from the Society offer some advice in the areas of energy management, environmental conditions, air management, the cooling plant information technology power distribution, lighting, and information technology equipment.
