Abstract
ABSTRACT Computer data centers use a lot of electricity in a small space, roughly ten times that of a regular office building per SF. For a facility with both office and data center functions, it is not uncommon for 15 percent of the building area to use 70 percent of the electricity. (1) Most of the energy used in computer data centers is from the equipment itself, which is often beyond the control of energy improvement efforts. Still, the cooling systems serving these machines are substantial energy users and can usually be improved on. Effective and practical energy conservation measures for data centers are provided with the basis of the savings and estimated savings values. This information will allow the energy engineer to formulate an effective approach for proposing improvements to these facilities.
