ASHRAE opens portal to data centre guidance

Aug 26, 2024 | Public | 0 comments

ASHRAE has opened a portal to comprehensive guidance for data centre design and operations. The new special section of its website is a hub for technical resources, including standards, guidelines, research papers and best practices for maintaining optimal temperature and humidity levels.

“With the rapid growth of digital infrastructure, the demand for cloud computing, AI and big data continues to soar. Efficient cooling systems are essential to cutting operational costs and reducing environmental impact,” says Dennis Knight, ASHRAE president for 2025-25. “ASHRAE understands the unique challenges of data centre cooling and is proud to offer this platform, providing professionals with the latest industry knowledge and resources in one place.”

That includes access to the ASHRAE TC 9.9 Encyclopedia, the new digital form of ASHRAE’s Datacom series of printed manuals, and standards such as ASHRAE 90.4 energy standard for data centres, and ASHRAE 127 for air conditioning for data centres and other IT equipment.
