When Dedicated Cooling is the Only Choice

According to studies, over 60% of businesses rely on building air*, which entails uncertainties and expenses.

Risks

• These systems shutdown over night & weekends
• Systems designed to operate 5x8 vs Continuous Operations
• Do not provide sufficient filtration for IT equipment and no humidity control
• Building air removes too much moisture, introducing the risk of static discharge
• Insufficient airflow causes overheating in IT equipment (Airflow designed for comfort not correct delivery for IT)

Costs

• Building air is designed to cool people (heat and sweat)
• As a consequence a lot of energy (cost) goes into removing that moisture
• This energy is wasted where building air is used to cool machines
