b<>com Institute of Research & Technology in Rennes/France On-site single step 20kV to 400V conversion. 200kVA datacenter capacity. Modular UPS. Underground concrete structure of the DC used as a natural heat drain. In-raw CRACs system. No plenum, no raised floor. Power, fiber, chilling pipes run from the ceiling. Raised cold aisle temperature set point : 25 C 10..14 C chilled water, variable speed fans & water pumps. High efficiency Heat recovery from chilled water return path provides heating of the labs facility. 6
Six Degrees Group Energy Efficient Solutions, Birmingham (UK) Cold Aisle Containment with automatic closing doors Cost effective Corex (fire resistant) blanking panels provided free of charge to all customers Comprehensive control strategy for cooling system using sensor average temperatures and supply & return temperatures on cooling system to alter fan and pump speeds on indoor and outdoor equipment to optimise free cooling Replacement of external cooling plant for energy efficiency Migration of UPS batteries to separate enclosures to increase operating temperature of UPS and electrical switchgear 7
FCO Services Milton Keynes DC, UK The system was designed to support an average 1.1 PUE performance. During winter mode the solution should perform to incredible PUE figures of 1.06. Modular, scalable power and cooling architecture that allows deployment as needed. This is the crucial element for improving data centre efficiency. The implementation of modern energy efficient cooling technologies reduces our operational energy overhead and will have a surprising contribution to data centre energy savings. The bespoke dual 12mL x 3.5mW x 3.5mH modular pods combined with a link corridor is designed supported 22 equipment racks with 1.2m front and 875mm rear rack clearance. Once inside the solutions looks and feels like a conventional bricks and mortar design. The solution was designed to support pay as you grow capability. This was fulfilled through the deployment of modular and scalable UPS and cooling technology delivering incremental growth. We have maximised the use of space in order to reduce the modular data centre footprint. Use of free air evaporative cooling for the data centre reduces power consumption. 8

Energy efficiency solutions in Atman DC Online efficiency monitoring using SCADA Atman has developed its own environmental parameters monitoring using SCADA. Instant information and alerts from SCADA enable Atman s personnel to react immediately and fine-tune electrical and mechanical devices in order to maximize energy efficiency. Free cooling (direct and indirect) Atman is taking advantage of direct free cooling solutions in their DC facilities where flexible approach to environmental conditions is allowed. In data-rooms which require strict humidity and temperature control Atman uses precision free cooling systems. Set points recommended by ASHRAE classes A1-A4: 18-27 ºC In Atman we encourage our customers to allow flexible set points which guarantee low PUE. Sealed racks and isles Atman s staff regularly monitors data-rooms against proper and optimal use of cooling. Hot-spots, empty rack-slots, reverse fans, etc. are subject to immediate corrections. This activity is backed by appropriate provisions in contracts. Vendors endorsers When possible, Atman selects their vendors from registered Code of Conduct Data Centre endorsers (Schneider Electric, Emerson Network Power, Stulz, Socomec, and others). 11
