Abstract
One of the HVAC most energy-demanding applications is designing a data center. In the current environment and with rapid advancement of technology the need for designing and maintaining data centers can be felt more than ever. A computer room, server room, IT room, or data center is a dedicated space for locating computer systems which handles a large quantity of data such as telecommunications and storage systems.
