Energy & Risk Reduction Programme Case Study 1
Two award-winning Tier III facilities wanted to further optimise their energy performance. Improvements were recommended in the following areas:
Air management
- Seal air gaps to reduce bypass (data halls)
- Reduce flow rate (LV switchrooms)
- Relocate poorly placed grilles (MDF)
- Redirect air to IT intake (MDF)
Energy
- Run all AHUs at a lower fan speed (data halls)
- Reduce pressure set points (data halls)
- Replace pressure sensors with ones with a tighter range (data halls)
- Reduce flow rates in LV switchrooms
- Allow higher temperature in LV switchrooms (no batteries)
- Reduce pressure set points (MDF)
Risk
- Review and improve standard and emergency procedures
