The thermal environment of most mission-critical spaces is designed and operated to respect steady-state temperature limits. However, a robust and resilient facility must endure cooling-equipment failure and even periods with a complete loss of utility power. Even under “normal” conditions, IT loads vary and cooling units cycle on and off. Predictive modeling can improve transient performance by influencing design choices and allowing operators to optimize the control of systems they already have. Predictive modeling further reveals that it is difficult to comply with current ASHRAE Thermal Guidelines. This provocative seminar explores these issues and suggests a path forward.
