Data Centers

Data Center integrated building management solution

With over 7,000 mega data centers worldwide, representing almost 2% of global energy consumption, data centers face increasing pressure to reduce and optimize energy usage, reduce carbon emissions while delivering efficient, reliable, and mission critical system operations. 

Cooling power in data centers is the biggest consumer of non-computing power
Up to 50% of energy usage in data centers is on cooling

Studies have shown that for every 1W of power utilized during the operation of servers an additional 0.5–1 W of power is consumed by the cooling equipment to extract the heat out from the data center.

The three major power consumers in data center HVAC includes fans (39%), chillers (39%, and cooling water pumps (18%). (source: IEEE) The efficient operation, maintenance and monitoring of these systems is central to the reduction of energy consumption and generation of energy savings for data center managers.

Solution overview
