The cost of cooling the servers is often high. Energy use to ensure stable temperature and operating environment is an important control parameter. It is very important to use all available opportunities to reduce energy use as much as possible, both because it is financially profitable, but also because this contributes positively to the company’s climate accounts. Future customers will probably to a far greater extent buy their data services from companies that can document measures to reduce the burden on the climate, and such measures will to a far greater extent become important competitive tools.
Insulating the data room in the best possible way is therefore very important to reduce the cost of climate control in the data hall or server room. How you design and build the server room or data center is therefore not indifferent. A 100 mm computer room wall built in ModuSec® offers twice as good insulation capacity as a similar wall built in mineral wool. In fact, ModuSec® is the building material that gives you the best U value available for 100 mm sandwich panels. Low U value saves energy and provides a stable environment for the cooling systems. ModuSec® can reduce the size of the cooling system and provides savings in operating costs as well as reducing the CO2 footprint of the company’s server room or data center.
This table shows the comparison in U-value between ModuSec® and traditional materials commonly used in the construction of server rooms and data centers:
ModuSec® has more than twice the insulation capacity of similar sandwich panels in mineral wool and is the market’s unsurpassed best building material for server rooms and data centers.
About ModuSec®:
ModuSec® uses lightweight and very strong, steel-clad wall and roof panels with a high thermal protection core of “PyroFoam”. The panels lock together easily and quickly and provide a protective shell in the desired size. The surface of the panels is pre-treated and does not require any finishing such as painting or wallpapering. The new data room is built independently of the existing structure and can easily be expanded or moved.
