Effective Implementation of ASHRAE 90.1 2013 Requirements

This 2019 Energy Exchange recorded session focuses on the unique requirements of data centers and how to maintain their resilience in a compromised environment. Topics include how data centers can be designed for continued operation under the following conditions:

• Loss of power from its grid source;
• Power quality issues from its grid source or its source of backup power; and
• Compromised cooling capacity from its primary source of cooling water, including loss of water from its primary cooling source and loss of chiller capacity from its primary cooling source.
