183,500 sq. ft.commissioning and retro-commissioning across five facilities
200+ data loggers deployed for cooling efficiency analysis
10+ equipment types testedfrom switchgear and UPS systems to chillers and generators
0 downtime maintained during all testing and retro-commissioning procedures
ABOUT THE PROJECT
This confidential client hired our team to perform an MEP assessment and retro-commissioning study of its data center portfolio. The goal was to align these mission-critical facilities with the company’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments by reducing energy usage and lowering operational carbon emissions. The result is also reduced operating costs.
OUR SOLUTION
We conducted an assessment and retro-commissioning effort that included:
- Performing ASHRAE Level 2 energy audits across all sites to identify Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs) and Retro-Commissioning Measures (RCMs).
- Deploying more than 200 data loggers throughout the data centers, so that we could calculate Return Temperature Index (RTI) and Rack Cooling Index (RCI) values and quantify cooling efficiency.
- Testing and sequencing mechanical systems, including chillers, pumps, and air handling units, while maintaining proper cooling to safeguard continuous data center operation.
- Collaborating with the client’s facility engineers to plan and perform system testing without service interruptions and ensure a successful outcome.
- Recommending targeted energy conservation strategies to help the client meet its long-term ESG and decarbonization objectives and operating budgetary goals.
THE IMPACT
Our retro-commissioning study provided our client with actionable measures to advance its corporate ESG goals, improve system performance, and reduce operational costs – all while maintaining uninterrupted service.
