The Critical Role of Enclosures in Data Center Sustainability

Data centers consume up to 50 times more energy than typical commercial buildings, driving an urgent need to adopt green building practices. While initial implementation costs are high, the long-term benefits—reduced operational expenses, decreased fossil fuel dependence, and enhanced brand perception—create a compelling case for both environmental and financial sustainability.

Leveraging AI for Sustainable Data Centers

Over the last few years and looking to the near future, the demand for data processing has soared exponentially at rates previously thought inconceivable. Goldman Sachs Research estimates that while data centres currently consume approximately 1-2% of the world’s overall power, this is expected to grow by 160% by the end of the decade, and 2022-2030 carbon emissions are predicted to double!

Safeguard your Data Center with CFD Simulation

As power and heat loads continue to rise in data centers, efficient cooling is becoming increasingly challenging, with cooling responsible for up to 40% of a data center’s total energy consumption. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software creates a 3D model or digital twin of the data center, providing a detailed understanding of the complex interactions between airflow, heat removal, and cooling systems, enabling operators to make informed decisions to reduce energy consumption and improve overall cooling efficiency.
