New California Energy Codes will have broad impacts on Computer
Room cooling design and retrofitting that requires permitting. The definition
of “Computer Room” may surprise you because it is not just the large Data
Centers that will be affected.
Adaptations of the California codes are likely to spread across the country so you should become familiar with the requirements and how they may affect and/or improve your operation efficiency. At a minimum, these could be viewed as “Best Practices” for efficient Data Center and Computer Room Operation.

At the highest level the new codes include:
• Prescriptive
requirements for data room cooling
• Requirement
of economizers
• Prevention
of reheating
• Prohibition
of non-adiabatic dehumidification
• Requirements for fan power & control (VFD’s)
• Requirements containment
According to California Operators – SCE, California’s Title 24
changes are scheduled to go into effect July 1, 2014, however there have been rumors
it could be delayed again due to software issues (they were originally slated
for enactment on January 1, 2013). The new requirements are not
retroactive, but any plans that seek
incentives/rebates for VFDs, containment projects, and/or other cooling optimization
need to be submitted and pre-approved by the end of June. We encourage you to
talk directly with your Power/Utility account representative and/or Wildan
Energy (option for SCE clients) to ensure you understand how these changes may
affect your organization.
Express
Incentives, Calculated Incentives, and Savings By Design Incentives/Rebates (New Build only) still
exist from SCE and most utilities. NER
can help you qualify for these funds to improve and upgrade your Data Center cooling
infrastructure.

Since
this is a Cooling/Thermal Management focused initiative it is a good time to
remember that you can’t manage what you can’t see. NER’s new Aurora Thermal Management
Technology provides the visibility, data, and management capabilities you
require. Learn more at www.nerdata.com/aurora
The blog is quite awesome that has provided me the best knowledge.
