An air-side economizer is an HVAC control system that can provide significant cooling energy savings when properly specified, installed, commissioned, and maintained.
Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) is an emerging form of data center management that bridges the gap between traditional facilities systems and information technology (IT) systems, thereby providing operators with a consolidation of the data gleaned from each.
In or around November 2006, I co-authored a white paper with Vali Sorell (vice president, Syska Hennessy Group) that calculated and compared the energy efficiency of cooling strategies employed in most data centers.
