Camfil HVAC Data Center Update: Insights on Data Center IAQ and Energy Consumption
Data centers consume an estimated 2.5% of global energy. Camfil's article highlights HVAC energy challenges and innovative air quality solutions for sustainable operations.
As the backbone of our digital world, data centers power everything from streaming services to cloud computing, but they come with a sizable energy demand: about 2.5% of global energy consumption. A significant portion of this energy is dedicated to maintaining the ideal environmental conditions for sensitive equipment.
Optimizing HVAC Energy Consumption in Data Centers
One of the most important aspects of the environment is the air, which is controlled through the HVAC system. 30% of a data center's energy use goes toward facility maintenance, with 40% of that attributed to HVAC systems. These systems are responsible for ensuring that the temperature and humidity levels are consistently optimized to keep servers and other technology running smoothly. With rising concerns about energy efficiency and environmental impact, data centers are constantly looking for ways to reduce their HVAC energy consumption.
