It is this kind of sustained, intelligent and joined-up collaborative approach that will bring about sector-wide positive change.
This balance between consistency and site-specific optimisation is a key consideration in modern data centre design for worldwide clients..The table below is based on large data centre deployments ranging from 5MW to 100MW data centre / campus, although, some information may be relevant for smaller installations.. Energy/water efficient heat rejection systems.
An efficient heat rejection system design is limited by the following parameters:.Supply air/water temperature:.the design temperature the cabs/racks/CDU require during normal conditions..
Peak summer and yearly external temperatures:.the design temperature the external heat rejection equipment must be rated to, typically there will also be an additional allowance for recirculation for multi-unit installations (usually validated by an external CFD based on extreme temperatures and wind conditions)..
In an ideal scenario, the peak summer design temperature would be lower than the required supply air/water temperature in the data hall.
This allows the data centre to rely solely on the heat rejection plant and no chillers - minimising energy consumption and resulting in low PUE values.And when owners make certain decisions, the supply chain will follow..

http://bit.ly/BWNewsUpdatesIntroduction – what is automation in construction?.The overall landscape of the construction industry has been changing in recent years, driven by an expanding interest in areas such as Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA), Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), and the use of transformative new technologies ranging from digital design tools to construction robotics and intelligent control systems.
Broadly speaking, when we refer to automation in construction, we mean the development and application of tools, methods and technologies that automate various parts of a construction project from design through to the actual construction process.This could include creating many building options with generative design at an early stage, testing facilities or construction schedules with simulation, or on-site construction robots performing tasks which could be inefficient or unsafe for people to do.
