Environmentally Friendly, Energy-saving Air-conditioning System

Amid the recession, it is said that business operators will tend to outsource more and more so that they can gather their IT resources in one place, improve their efficiency and reduce their costs. Data centers are at the heart of this outsourcing, and they consume a large amount of electricity. They need to use electricity safely and efficiently. Against this social background, a new annex of the Tatebayashi System Center, located in Gunma Prefecture in Japan, has implemented an energy-saving air-conditioning system as a measure to try to reduce its environmental impact. This paper introduces an outline of this measure to optimize air conditioning implemented in the server room, based on the cooling method for greening that has been newly introduced this time. In addition, it introduces the effect of the measure that makes the best use of the advantages of scale at the data center.
