Formation of Thermal Management Consortium in 1998

• Formed with 15 telecom equipment manufacturers

• Objective to address common concerns related to thermal management of data centers and telecom rooms

• First priority to develop and then publish a trend chart on industry power trends to aid customers in planning data centers for the future – published in 1999

• Second priority was to form three subgroups to address what was felt were the next key issues:

� Rack airflow direction/rack chilled air flow requirements

� Common environmental requirements

� Reporting of equipment heat loads

ASHRAE – Mission

ASHRAE’s sole objective is to advance through research, standards writing, publishing & continuing education the arts & sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning & refrigerationto serve the evolving needs of the public.

9

SMSM


Standards

•ASHRAE has 130 standard and guideline project

committees that establish recommended design

and operation practice

•One of only five standards-developing

organizations in the U.S. that can self-certify that

its standards have followed American National

Standards Institute’s (ANSI) standards

development procedures.

SMSM


Technical Committees

ASHRAE has some 110 technical committees

that drive the ASHRAE research program,

develop standards, sponsor the technical

program at ASHRAE meetings, develop technical

articles, special publications and educational

courses and write the ASHRAE Handbook.

Governmental Programs

•ASHRAE’s government affairs program provides

a critical link between ASHRAE members and

government through contributing technical

expertise and policy guidance to Congress and the

Executive branch.

•Current priorities include energy efficiency;

building codes; science, technology, engineering

and mathematics education; indoor environmental

quality; and building security.

14

SMSM


Why ASHRAE for Energy Conservation?

• ASHRAE developed the first energy conservation standard in the U.S. at request of the federal government during the 1970s energy crisis

• Standard 90.1 now serves as the national reference for state commercial building energy codes through the U.S. Energy Policy Act

• ASHRAE continues to provide a wealth of technical and engineering information, including Standard 90.1, to help engineers reduce energy use

• ASHRAE has a long history in energy conservation and is committed to economic energy-efficiency standards and advanced guidance

15

SMSM


Challenges

• Establish carbon-neutral buildings by the year 2030

• Design buildings that use substantially less energy, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create spaces that are healthy and comfortable

• Many high-performance buildings exist today that exceed minimum energy requirements by over 50 percent – yet aggressive research and development needed to achieve feasible, cost-effect net-zero-energy buildings

16

SMSM


Factors at Play

• How exactly do we define net-zero?

• Net-zero-energy buildings cannot be achieved by energy efficiency alone – renewable energy applications must be applied

• Standard 90.1 only influences the design of new buildings – actual performance of occupied building depends on many operating and maintenance factors. Measured data is essential to verify performance

17

SMSM


How Will We Do It?

• Standards

• Research

• Special Publications

Formation of ASHRAE TC9.9 Committee in 2002

• Objective to continue work by thermal management consortium and to achieve a broad audience directly impacted by Datacom environment

• Started as TG9.HDEC “High Density Electronic Equipment Facility Cooling”

• Organizational meeting held at the ASHRAE annual meeting in June, 2002

• Evolved into a technical committee TC9.9 “Mission Critical Facilities, Technology Spaces & Electronic Equipment”

• First ASHRAE publication by this committee “Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments” carrying on the issues raised by the Thermal Management Consortium

19

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability of Datacom Facilities

Sponsor: TC 09.09 Mission Critical Facilities, Technology Spaces and Electronic Equipment

Chair: Jeff P. Trower, Member, Data Aire, Orange, CA

The design approach for mission critical facilities has typically concentrated on uptime and reliability, with

limited consideration toward reducing energy and improving sustainability. Yet, due to the steep growth curve

in power density and the 24/7 utilization of today’s data centers, enormous opportunities can be found for

optimizing energy efficiency. The papers presented in this transactions session provide valuable information

on methods and analysis techniques to optimize energy efficiency in data centers.

Data Centers in the Spotlight: National Energy Perspectives and Recent ASHRAE Publications,

Part 1

Sponsor: TC 09.09 Mission Critical Facilities,Technology Spaces and Electronic Equipment

Chair: Jack Glass, Member, Citigroup, New York, NY

Data centers are in the spotlight: Congress passed Public Law 109-431 in December 2006 and the

USEPA responded with a report to Congress. The first half of this seminar examines datacom energy

use from a national perspective, including viewpoints from the U.S. DOE, U.S. EPA, and Lawrence

Berkeley National Laboratories.

The second half of the seminar provides overviews of ASHRAE’s response to meeting needs in the

datacom industry, including energy. The three presentations provide overviews of ASHRAE books

either recently published or close to completion, with themes on the topics of energy efficiency,

structural and seismic engineering, and contamination.
