Integrated Data Center Management for University Sustainability

Promoting University Sustainability Through Integrated Data Center Management

Michael Wilson May 14, 2023

Integrated Data Center Management (IDCM) is revolutionizing the way universities handle their vast digital resources. By optimizing cooling chains, intelligently managing space, leveraging machine learning, and conducting comprehensive energy usage analysis, IDCM brings a new level of efficiency to data centers. This approach not only minimizes energy consumption but also significantly reduces the carbon footprint of these digital nerve centers. As a result, universities can achieve their sustainability goals while also realizing reduced operational costs, making IDCM a cornerstone in the pursuit of a greener, more sustainable future.

ASHRAE Guideline 36 Fault Detection and Diagnostics: How Data Analytics is Revolutionizing Buildings

Michael Wilson May 7, 2023

Building maintenance can be a complex and time-consuming task, especially when it comes to identifying and diagnosing issues in HVAC, lighting, and other systems. However, there is a solution that can simplify and streamline the process: ASHRAE Guideline 36 Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD). This powerful tool leverages data analytics to identify and diagnose issues in a building’s systems, resulting in increased energy efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, improved occupant comfort, and increased equipment lifespan. In this article, we’ll explore the numerous benefits of implementing ASHRAE Guideline 36 FDD and how it can revolutionize building maintenance.

The Advantages of Deploying BACnet Secure Connect

Michael Wilson April 17, 2023

The primary advantage of BACnet Secure Connect is its enhanced security features. BACnet/SC is designed to provide secure communication between devices and to prevent unauthorized access to the building automation system. It uses encryption to protect data in transit and provides authentication and authorization mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the system. With BACnet/SC, building owners and operators can rest assured that their systems are secure and protected from cyber threats.
