Why use free cooling? Businesses with their own IT departments face the challenge of cooling equipment, often in a dedicated room with air conditioning that consumes varying amounts of energy. Cooling systems, essential to keeping servers in optimal operating conditions, account for an average of 30 to 50% of data centres’ energy spending. How can it be implemented? Implementation and energy savings depend on each site’s characteristics and infrastructure, the level of advance management, such as regular monitoring, calculated performance indicators and close collaboration between project teams, and the operating policy adopted afterwards, including processes, training and resources. An authorized expert should therefore be consulted before starting a passive cooling project for a data centre.
