Data Center Environmental Monitoring High-accuracy measurement solutions for data centers and mission critical facilities GUIDE: HOW TO REDUCE ENERGY COSTS Sensor precision and stability - prerequisite for optimal control over cooling and air conditioning Data centers are the brains of practically every company whose success depends on efficient and reliable software operations. With lots of powerful hardware concentrated in one place, data centers must be kept cool and safeguarded against both external and internal environmental influences. As a result, data centers consume significant amounts of energy. How can we improve their energy efficiency and PUE (power usage effectiveness)? Measure it properly. One of the most important requirements to reduce your cooling costs is to measure the conditions properly in the first place. Your data center temperature control strategy is only as good as your measurement equipment, and even small measurement errors can increase your energy bill significantly. Design it wisely. Can you benefit from air-side economizers or evaporative coolers, for example? Choose the right humidity parameter for the instrument, and choose an instrument designed for the measurement location in question. Keep your instruments in good shape. All instruments need periodic checking. Choose instruments that have minimal long-term drifting and are easy to maintain, and develop a robust service and calibration plan for your data center.

A modular temperature and humidity measurement solution for critical buildings can be formed by combining transmitters with optional displays and miniature measurement probes. A standard M12 or M8 connector allows transmitters and measurement probes to be chained together easily. With optional accessories, such as magnetic probe attachment units and plug-and-play cables, installation is even easier. View brochure The sensor requirements of data centers There are good opportunities for energy efficiency in 40% of data center energy demand; the majority of which comes from a data center’s cooling and air-conditioning systems. In common with all good process efficiency measures, effective energy management relies on the availability of accurate, reliable, continuous monitoring data. So, for data centers, what must be measured? and where?
