Architects looking to design a sustainable data center must first design an airflow management strategy that has been optimized to reduce power and cooling costs. Whether the application is a single room or an entire building, data centers have unique needs and solutions when it comes to airflow management and containment. To help architects better understand these needs, CPI worked with Green Source Construction to develop an online course that provides AIA credit focused on the three main approaches toward containment (hot aisle, cold aisle and vertical exhaust duct), cost benefits of each strategy and the overall value of good airflow management.
Below is an excerpt of the course written by architect Peter J. Arsenault, FAIA, NCARB, LEED-AP.
Spaces built for housing centralized computers and network servers have evolved and changed rapidly in recent years. More data can be saved and stored on physically smaller pieces of interconnected equipment but the demand for that data continues to grow, meaning many pieces of this equipment need to be housed indensely arranged configurations in buildings. Modern data centers of this type may be room-sized to serve a particular business or institution, or they might be entire buildings unto themselves serving a much larger population. In any scenario, they consume energy - typically lots of energy - both for the operation of the equipment and very significantly, cooling of that equipment and the room(s) it occupies. Achieving energy efficiency in this unique building use requires a collaborative design approach between architects, engineers, and building owners with a solid understanding of the issues and successful available approaches toreduce energy demand effectively.
