The Data Center Energy Efficiency Emerging Technology Demonstration Project focuses on the confinement of chilled air distribution in data center cold aisles. This methodology is based on the observation that...
Data centers require continuous air conditioning to address high internal heat loads (heat release from equipment) and maintain indoor temperatures within recommended operating levels for computers. Air economizer cycles, which...
This scoping study builds on the multi-agency Integrated Design Charrette for energy efficient data centers that took place February 2-3, 2003 at the Pacific Energy Center. Scoping work will focus...
A significant portion of the energy in data centers is currently dedicated to provide cooling for the server equipment. Data centers must provide continuous air conditioning to address high...
Data center power supply efficiency typically ranges from 70 to 75 percent (at 50% load). Approximately 30 percent of the energy is wasted. The project crafts an...
This research project studied the energy efficiency and power quality characteristics of power supplies used in servers. The findings revealed ways in which power consumption could be reduced, and the...
The purpose of this project is to address the major energy, productivity and environmental issues of the expanding California electronics industry. Industries in this rapidly growing market sector—including manufacturers of...
The purpose of this project is to develop a roadmap that will guide continuous improvement in energy performance for California Data Center facilities. This roadmap will address opportunities and...
The purpose of this project is to research and develop design tools and a guidebook for energy efficient cleanrooms for high-tech industries and laboratories. Laboratories and cleanrooms serve the semiconductor,...
This project is a joint effort between Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Sempra Utilities, and Southern California Edison to incorporate energy efficiency measures for data centers into the eQuest Building...
