Surging demand on data centers is constantly placing new strains on their temperature control. Hot spots and inadequate cooling can cause costly disruptions. It is estimated that cooling and humidification control accounts for 40% to 60% of a data center’s physical operating costs.
Trane tailors HVAC systems to different centers’ widely varying needs, offering support with design, installation, commissioning and ongoing operations. Data centers may benefit from our:
• modular systems, allowing for expandability as needed.
• integrated management for all systems, ensuring that savings in one do not increase costs in another.
• rapid restart chiller plant.
And with the industry’s largest number of LEED Accredited Professionals, Trane works with industry and construction organizations to advance sustainable green practices and the associated energy and financial efficiencies.
CASE STUDIES
Savvis Communications
New Jersey, USA
Savvis Communications leases the Weehawken, New Jersey, data center site (NJ2).
