Hourly energy simulation programs such as DOE-2.2, eQUEST and Energy Plus have become more sophisticated through constant maintenance over many years. Those who have attempted to model data center design loads and annual energy consumption have found that the suite of available public domain programs for occupied office spaces is not easily adaptable to data center projects. Data centers have very simplistic load-contributing components but highly complex load growth and system growth modeling challenges. This seminar addresses modeling needs that are unique to data centers, including using both hourly energy simulation programs (such as the public domain ones noted above), as well as more simplistic spreadsheet approaches.
