Summary

Most data centers are designed and operated according to existing industry guidelines for temperature and humidity control. These guidelines include ASHRAE Special Publication Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments, and ANSI/TIA-942-1 2005 Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers developed by the Telecommunication Industry Association (TIA), and the Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS), which also is used by the telecommunication industry for telecom central office facilities. This article examines the impact of these guidelines on datacom facility efficiency and suggests ways to improve them.
