Now for Sale - Training Manual of "HVAC Design and Cooling Specialist for Data Center Efficiency"

HVAC DESIGN & COOLING SPECIALIST FOR DATA CENTER EFFICIENCY

This is a training manual developed by a team of experienced Chartered Engineers (CEng). For data center operators and facilities managers, we help you to understand key challenges and consider different factors, from design, testing, commissioning, sustainability and efficiency, of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system for data centers.

In addition, the manual details the guidelines of data centers’ cooling criteria, HVAC load development, air distribution, liquid cooling, contamination, availability and redundancy, Computer Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model, energy efficiency, etc., from general theory to technical implementation.

To predict a data center’s power and heat loads over the years ahead is the hardest thing for data center owners. It introduces datacom power trends and cooling applications showing expected growth in power density for different types of computing equipment out to 2020.

Investing HK$2.8 Billion to Build a Largest Data Center in Hong Kong

One of the leading owners and operators of wholesale carrier neutral data center space in Europe and Asia-Pacific, Global Switch, has acquired a site on the Tseung Kwan O (TKO) Industrial Estate in Hong Kong to build a Tier III plus data center.

It intends to invest around HK$2.8 billion over the full course of the development, with further investment arising from specific customer requirements. This investment to build Hong Kong's largest data center is in response to strong customer demand, and is consistent with the strategy of expanding in key regional IT and connectivity hubs.

Once built the data center will offer 35,000 sq m (375,000 sq ft) gross space with 45MVA of utility power and have best-in-class environmental credentials targeting a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum Rating. Construction is planned to start in 2013, with the first phase of space becoming operational in Q1 2015.

The hosting services market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow by 10% to 15% CAGR over the next three to five years, on the back of strong economic growth, business expansion in the region, demand for disaster recovery facilities and corporations moving toward adopting cloud services. Hong Kong, as one of the key data center hubs in Asia, is expected to see strong demand in particular from the banking, financial services and insurance and trading and logistics sectors.

Energy Efficiency Certifications in Data Center

Striving for energy efficiency in your data center is not only a great way to reduce operating expenses and reduce the environmental impact of the facility, but it is a way to garner PR points as well. Energy efficiency certifications are a way to provide independent verification of your efforts, and although they can be “gamed,” they still provide some metric for a more objective evaluation of data centers.

 

What Your Certification Means

Whether you’ve earned an Energy Star, LEED, or some other certification, all you really have is an independent statement that your data center was at one time up to par according to a set of standards.

The very next day after receiving the certification—as far as anyone else knows—your facility may well have thrown all the energy efficiency measures out the window. Of course, when it comes to energy efficiency, that would make little business sense: lower energy consumption means lower operating costs. Furthermore, implementing energy-efficient practices often requires supporting infrastructure with its own capital costs, and not employing that infrastructure wastes the opportunity to recoup costs and even gain a return on the investment.


The following are several tips to consider for maintaining your certification.

• Don’t make the certification your main goal.
• Work toward the best efficiency you can achieve, not just the bare minimum for certification.
• Keep track of changes in the certification standards.
• Recertify as often as is practical.
• Make energy efficiency an ongoing project, not just a task for the couple months before recertification time.
• Stay informed about new energy efficiency technologies—and choose wisely among them.
• Budget for energy efficiency.
• Be honest about the meaning of certifications.
