The Thermal Guidelines can have a positive impact on global data center construction and operations. Outcomes show how when the Thermal Guidelines are applied innovatively, reliability and availability (the number data center customer requirement) can be complementary to both energy-efficiency and sustainability. In addition, such an approach can also reduce both data center project capital expenditure and operational expenditure through-out the life cycle of the building. This session details the ASHRAE thermal guidelines, their application to enable free cooling for a new UK facility, and closes with how the concept was validated a priority.
