Why Should Government Facilities Have High-Performance HVAC Systems?
High-performance HVAC systems can yield immense benefits. While at first glance, they might not be classified as “ordinary” commercial-grade HVAC setups, they are highly similar. These machines all operate in much the same way, no matter where they are installed. As such, commercial buildings and government facilities can greatly benefit from these components. Energy efficiency
How to Design an Optimal Data Cooling Center
In today’s fast-paced world, protecting and storing large banks of data is vitally important. Having an optimal data cooling center will extend the lifetime of your servers as well as get the best performance out of them. In this blog, we’ll discuss three tips for designing an optimal data cooling center. Call on the experts,
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Trends Facility Managers Should Know
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems are constantly evolving and it is up to building owners and facility managers to try and keep up. UPS systems are like iPhones. Just when you think you have the best system out there – BOOM! – a newer, more reliable system comes along. UPS equipment is always improving: better
Improving Data Center Efficiency in 5 Easy Steps
According to Standard University, data centers are estimated to consume around 2% of all power in the United States and cooling these rooms is responsible for roughly 37-40% of a commercial facility’s total electricity use. Needless to say, Data Center Efficiency is at the top of many facility managers’ minds. And while high-tech server hardware
Data Center Growth: Your Servers Needs a Little Breathing Room
For years, building owners and property managers have relegated their servers to empty offices, mechanical rooms, or worse, closets. According to Energy Star, these improvised data centers account for roughly 40% of all data centers across the country. However, it may be time to give your servers a little more breathing room. Evaluating Your Data
Data Center Cooling Issues and Prevention
Did you know that in most data centers cooling accounts for around 37-40% of total electricity use? According to Consortium of Energy Efficiency, a Preventive Maintenance program can cut that energy use by as much as 20%. Regular, planned maintenance can also help prevent costly repairs and even costlier downtime. According to a 2011 study
Managing Data Center Cooling Costs
We have thrown around this statistic before, but it is worth repeating; data centers are estimated to consume around 2% of all power in the United States, according to Standard University. Wow! So it is not hard to believe that the data center is one of the most expensive areas in a commercial building. However,
New Energy Efficiency Standards for Government Data Centers
Data centers are estimated to consume around 2% of all power generated in the United States, according to Standard University. In fact, as much as 50% of your building’s power may be consumed by data center cooling. So the need for more efficient data center operation is obvious. The United States House of Representatives passed
