The Chartered Institution of
Building Services Engineers (CIBSE)
has published a new document in its
Knowledge Series – Data centres: an
introduction to concepts and design.

Over recent years the way data
centres are designed and engineered
has gained greater importance.

Industry requirements for reliability,
security and sustainability, are
underpinned by cost controls which
make the management of data centres
ever more complex. Specifically the
demands for enhanced security, lower
power usage, uninterruptible power
supply and new cooling techniques
have gained attention.

This new publication address a
wide range of themes and examines
how the high levels of energy used in
data centres can be minimised and
operating costs reduced through
expert engineering solutions.
