However, it is unclear how many registrations do more than specify a solvent and list suppliers.
is a whole-project approach, starting with design and working through to assembly.Designing with the detail of assembly in mind, and making sure that M&E engineers work closely with architects and structural engineers, we deliver built assets with performance as part of their DNA.
And nowhere is this more relevant than in data centre design.. A data centre is about performance above all – minimising cost per kW, maximising IT yield per square metre, minimising energy and water consumption, maximising the efficiency of M&E building services, and minimising waste..There are standard ways to address all of these value drivers, and many companies to do that.But to really raise the bar on what can be achieved with data centre design and M&E services, it’s essential to understand the mechanical and electrical systems, the architecture and the structure as being intimately interconnected and fully interdependent.
Each of these facets must work in harmony to maximise the potential for optimal data centre design and that is impossible to do when the project is divided up and these areas are treated separately..It is, however, possible to achieve through an integrated design approach and.
Data centres developments have baseline costs like utilities, land, civils and structure...
So the more data centre capacity you can fit onto your site, the more IT yield per square metre you will get, and the lower your cost per kW will be.. As data centre designers, we must aim to maximise the site yield.Supply air/water temperature:.
the design temperature the cabs/racks/CDU require during normal conditions..Peak summer and yearly external temperatures:.
the design temperature the external heat rejection equipment must be rated to, typically there will also be an additional allowance for recirculation for multi-unit installations (usually validated by an external CFD based on extreme temperatures and wind conditions)..In an ideal scenario, the peak summer design temperature would be lower than the required supply air/water temperature in the data hall.
