ATLANTA (August 26, 2024) ASHRAE today launched a new Data Center Resources page to help professionals maintain optimal temperature and humidity levels in data centers, where servers and other computing equipment generate significant amounts of heat. This resource hub provides data center design and operations professionals with the latest standards, guidelines and best practices, helping them stay compliant while enhancing sustainability.

 

The new page offers a comprehensive range of technical materials, including publications, standards, guidelines and research papers, all developed by ASHRAE’s renowned experts. These resources address various aspects of data center design and operation, such as cooling, power distribution, energy efficiency and thermal management. ASHRAE’s goal is to empower professionals with the knowledge needed to optimize data center performance and make informed decisions.

 

 “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,” said 2024-25 ASHRAE President M. Dennis Knight, P.E., BEMP, Fellow Life Member ASHRAE. “ASHRAE understands the unique challenges of data center cooling and is proud to offer this platform, providing professionals with the latest industry knowledge and resources in one place.”
