Low energy data centre and computer room designs
Capitoline LLP has developed low energy designs based around the correct layout of equipment and racks to optimize air flow cooling.
The government has approved the CIBSE Low Carbon Consultant scheme to be able to qualify designs and give energy conservation advice according the regulations described above.
Capitoline is the first company to apply this design expertise and qualification to the requirements of computer rooms and data centres.
With data centres in particular often demanding more power than the local utility can supply, plus the rising cost of energy, electricity conservation in these areas is going to become one of the largest requirements in IT projects over the next five years.
