ASHRAE has launched its new Data Center Resources page, aimed at helping professionals maintain optimal temperatures and humidity levels in data center environments.
The hub contains a range of technical materials developed by ASHRAE, such as publications, standards, guidelines and research papers on aspects of data center design including cooling, power distribution, energy efficiency and thermal management; all intended to help data center design and operations professionals stay compliant and enhance sustainability.
Specific resources offered by the hub include the ASHRAE Technical Committee 9.9 Datacom Encyclopedia, which contains knowledge about facility and ITE design considerations, environmental guidelines and cooling technologies, along with relevant standards such as the as ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 90.4-2022, Energy Standard for Data Centers and ASHRAE Standard 127-2020, Methods of Testing for Rating Air-Conditioning Units Serving Data Center (DC) and Other Information Technology Equipment.
“With the rapid growth of digital infrastructure, the demand for cloud computing, AI and big data continues to soar. Efficient cooling systems are essential to cutting operational costs and reducing environmental impact,” said M. Dennis Knight, ASHRAE’s 2024-25 president.
