Optimizing Containment for Sustainable Data Center Goals: Enhancing Efficiency and Reducing Environmental Impact

Discover how optimized containment strategies and sustainable Composite AisleFrame (CAF) systems can reduce data center carbon emissions by up to 4,299 kg CO₂ per frame while improving operational efficiency and cutting costs.

By Andy Conner, Channel Director EMEAr at Subzero Engineering

Introduction

Environmental consciousness is not just a trend. We can’t rapidly mend the hole in the ozone layer and climate change concerns won’t be undermined by ever-evolving technology any time soon. Humankind has a collective responsibility to reduce our carbon emissions, to lower waste, and to change the way we create and use energy in our day-to-day lives. However, it’s a constant challenge for organizations to balance scalability, operational efficiency and power resourcefulness with sustainability objectives.

Data centers are hugely energy-intensive buildings. Handling an increasingly growing capacity and complexity of AI and high-performance computing (HPC) means they are consistently using an aggressive amount of power and energy. It’s imperative that we minimize the environmental impact of these buildings, reducing the power consumed while maximizing the energy that is used. New strategies need to be implemented, sustainable materials deployed, and a mindset change to get to net zero and stay there.

Goals and Objectives

Reduce, recycle, and reuse policies should be integrated in every organization’s core values; however, longer-term environmental goals that support a sustainable infrastructure built with energy-efficient technologies and renewable energy sources must be considered when redesigning or extending legacy data center facilities, or building new ones.

One of the best strategies to accomplish sustainability objectives in these buildings is by utilizing optimized containment. Optimizing containment is a vital first step toward achieving a sustainable data center and can significantly reduce unfavorable environmental consequences.

After the ITE, cooling is the biggest consumer of a facility’s energy resources. Containment strategies decrease energy waste and efficiently regulate airflow. This enables data centers to maximize and boost operational efficiency while minimizing their impact on the environment.

Utilizing containment helps maintain consistent thermal temperatures and increases cooling effectiveness by keeping the hot and cold air streams separate, enabling a regulated airflow environment and increasing the efficiency of the cooling systems. This way data centers can conserve energy, not consume more.

Traditionally, an AisleFrame containment system is made of steel. This provides an integral floor supported structure that physically separates the cooled and expelled hot air. With excellent sustainability credentials, steel is 100% recyclable and can be melted down and reused time and again without deterioration. Through closed-loop recycling, every ton of steel scrap recovered can replace one ton of primary steelmaking while keeping its integrity in terms of properties or performance. In addition, steel’s long lifespan and minimal maintenance requirements contribute to its overall sustainability attestation. On the flip side however, decarbonizing remains a challenge and a global priority, and steelmaking currently contributes around 8% of the world’s total carbon emissions.

The Alternative

Composite AisleFrame (CAF) is a system made from alternative and sustainable materials ~~100%~~ and is a frame-based, floor supported structure for IT/HPC deployments. Used in the construction industry for more than 20 years in many proven applications, such as airplane tail structures, outdoor utility/telephone poles, and transportation bridges, this composite material has now been refined for specific use in data centers to be denser, stronger, and with additional fireproof properties.

CAF has many benefits compared with a Steel AisleFrame system. Every element in a data center has an intrinsic cost that needs to be accounted for, and steel is a heavy material. This translates to high transit costs and increased installation times that must be factored into the build.

In comparison, CAF material is 50% lighter than steel alternatives. It can be installed swiftly without the need for powder coating and is easily reconfigurable as requirements change, offering more flexibility and easier scalability. It can be reused multiple times and has an extended lifespan over steel, supporting waste reduction and net-zero initiatives, leading to lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). It can be flat-packed, allowing more product to be shipped in the same physical footprint, and delivers on lower transportation emissions and costs, offering up to 4,299 kg CO₂ savings per frame compared with non-recycled steel and up to 429 kg CO₂ savings per frame compared with recycled steel.

CAF’s strength per linear meter and its seismic compliance enable multi-level data centers to have CAF systems running throughout each building floor without the additional financial risk of having to strengthen weight-bearing floors. Its higher tensile and flexural attributes, with a better compressive strength-to-weight ratio than steel, mean CAF is more efficient structurally.

While steel is resource-heavy, CAF is non-resource-heavy in implementation. This means the CAF system can be delivered and installed in a fast and time-appropriate fashion. A steel structure can potentially take months to be shipped, but CAF could conceivably be delivered in weeks.

Conclusion

Optimizing cooling by separating the hot and cold air can ensure stable and consistent temperature distribution. By improving energy efficiency and overall cooling effectiveness, this can deliver on significant energy savings.

As the industry shifts to using greener technology, the development of a sustainable infrastructure built with energy-efficient technologies ~~and recycled materia~~ls continues to be a key strategy in the next generation of high-performance data centers.

Renowned for being hugely power-intensive buildings, data center operatives must constantly investigate strategies and technologies to lower their TCO. Whether restructuring, redesigning, or building from scratch, the cost savings accredited to CAF can contribute to a much quicker return on investment in data center infrastructure. And it’s a win-win when you’re lowering operational costs and optimizing the facility’s high performance and reliability at the same time as achieving long-term global environmental objectives.

Interview with Gordon Johnson for www.intelligentdatacentres.com

Data Center Industry Interview

What would you describe as your most memorable achievement in the data center industry?

It’s hard to settle on just one memorable event, but I fondly recall working on a project for a large data center customer that was still in the design phase. My modeling showed that with some simple design changes, the customer could increase supply temperatures and lower airflow, resulting in an annual savings of approximately US$400,000. The customer made the recommended changes from the modeling and about two years later after the facility was up and operating, I received a call, claiming my energy savings and annual operating costs were on the conservative side.

They estimated they had saved closer to US$500,000 in operating costs in just one year and had simultaneously made a major impact in reducing their CO2 footprint. This is not a one-time event either. I’ve been in the industry for over 30 years, and I can honestly say that anytime I can help data center operators and managers understand and save on their TCO by operating their data center as efficiently as possible is always a memorable moment for me.

What first made you think of a career in technology/data centers?

I started doing Disaster Recovery work in data centers, but soon found my passion was in the design and operating of energy efficiency data centers. This led me to reach out and obtain various certifications to help with the goal of helping our industry become as sustainable and green as possible.

What style of management philosophy do you employ with your current position?

I believe that a successful manager needs to possess effective communication and listening skills, and I try to apply these skills whether I’m managing or being managed. In addition, I strongly believe in the importance of showing respect to others, which includes valuing others’ beliefs, contributions and ideas. I’ve seen firsthand that this results in increased productivity, improved employee and team morale, and helps reduce turnover. Well respected employees are happier, more productive and tend to work harder with a greater sense of pride in their work. You can never go wrong when it comes to listening, communicating and showing respect to others.

What do you think is the current hot talking point within the data center space?

One hot topic is AI (Artificial Intelligence), and that some form of liquid cooling will be needed to cool our next generation data centers. While AI requires significant computing power, the reality is that it currently represents a small fraction of ITE’s global energy consumption, although that’s expected to change and increase in the next five years. Therefore, to offset the environmental impact of AI, greater control over data center energy consumption will increasingly become a top priority. We’re also going to want to look at our data center designs and especially our cooling from a holistic approach as opposed to the current one size fits all perspective.

How do you deal with stress and unwind outside the office?

Volunteer work has always been an important part of my life, and I find any opportunity to work with and help others to be one of the greatest stress relievers available. I also believe that exercise on a regular basis is a big stress reliever, so I try to stay as active as possible during down time. I love to play tennis, run a few local 5K events each year, and nothing helps me unwind more than daily long walks with my dog.

What do you currently identify as the major areas of investment in your industry?

We’re going to need to get serious and give more attention to sustainability in our industry. This includes avoiding the ‘rip and replace’ mentality where we’re constantly replacing our cooling and ITE every few years. Smart investing and positive sustainability practices include properly specifying our hardware and cooling to last at least 10 years. In addition, if we’re planning on moving towards some form of liquid cooling during that time period, we’ll want to focus on what type of technology works best for our business case, both now and in the future.

What are the region-specific challenges you encounter in your role?

Since our industry is constantly looking towards reducing energy usage, which includes free cooling and the use of renewable power, one region-specific challenge I encounter is where to build new data centers. While many factors are involved in this decision including the availability of land, power and water, the challenge exists to find and maximize the use of colder climates for new buildings. These colder climates are naturally favorable since they reduce or sometimes even eliminate the reliance on conventional cooling systems which are energy intensive. With cooler climates we may be able to just run naturally available cold air or chilled water in the data center to reduce temperatures at the ITE, saving significantly on capital costs and reduce operational expenses.

What changes to your job role have you seen in the last year and how do you see these developing in the coming months?

Data centers are increasingly adopting greener practices to be more sustainable and energy efficient, and now we’re starting to see more products inside the white space being made from greener and more environmentally friendly materials. One of my roles recently has been to research and determine the GWP (Global Warming Potential) benefits of using recyclable and composite materials for both cold and hot aisle containment products. Besides further lowering the GWP and carbon footprint in the white space, these products will assist data centers to obtain LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification which proves they have reduced environmental impact, comply with regulations and are operating with enhanced efficiency.
