Description

The critical facility market has grown exponentially inrecent years with numerous new data centers being builtworldwide. With its unique characteristics, specialattention needs to be paid when modeling theperformance of the data centers for design or Leadershipin Energy and Environmental Design certification(LEED). This paper presents a technical overview ofdata centers, including a few components and uniquecharacteristics; a description of various configurationssuch as hot aisle/cold aisle containment, economizingand virtualization; and an overview of the LEEDmodeling requirement for data center applications. It alsoprovides techniques on properly simulating the energyuse of data centers for design or LEED purpose.
