2 Topics We ll Cover Availability objectives Space and Load planning Equipment and design options Using CFD to evaluate options Costing analysis outputs

3 Availability Objectives Macro redundancy at the data center level Fault-tolerant Maintainable Concurrently maintainable and fault-tolerant

4 Space Planning Start with what you know: Cabinets Floor tiles Add growth Business objectives Known planned expansions SWAG 7% for 10 yrs = 2X 10% for 7 yrs = 2X Pay attention: 10% annual business growth data center growth Data center growth may be a step function Trends and technology forecasts

5 Power Planning Start with what you know: UPS readings Power company bills Add growth Business objectives Known planned expansions SWAG 7% for 10 yrs = 2X 10% for 7 yrs = 2X Trends and technology forecasts

6 Energy Use in Data Centre s ENERGY USE COMPONENT WATTS PER SQ METRE PERCENT Data Centre e Cooling Load (UPS) % Chiller 7 C 23 13% Electric Room Cooling Load 14 8% CRAH Fan Power 12 7% Data Centre Cooling Load (lighting & skin) 8 5% Back of House Skin Load 3 2% Chilled Water Pump 3 2% Pump Cooling Load 3 2% Condenser Water Load 2 1% Ventilation Latent Heat Load 2 1% Ventilation Sensible Load 0.7 1% Cooling Tower % Chiller Heat Rejection to Ambient 0.3 0% Back of House Lighting 0.3 0% Total %

7 Cooling Planning All power becomes heat Sensible Load Latent and external loading 1 ton per 93 square meters (1000 sq feet) Rule of thumb: Cooling energy = ½ UPS energy Final design could be +100% / - 90%

8 Spaces Requiring Other Cooling Air Data center pressurization air handling unit 8.5 CMH per 9m 2 outside air Use for humidity control N+1 4-5% UPS room Heat (kw) = 10% of UPS kw output N+1 Battery room 2 CMH per square metre for Hydrogen exhaust Air handler (N+1) Substation room Transformer heat = 4% of kw output N+1
