The path to energy efficiency in data centers is increasingly becoming regulated by state and federal governments. Airflow containment is at the top of the list.
Airflow containment — the ability to isolate, redirect, and recycle hot exhaust air has revolutionized the idea of “free cooling” within the data center. The energy saving benefits are so convincing, new laws are being passed requiring the use of airflow containment to comply with strict energy efficiency guidelines for data centers.
