Data Centre Cooling Specialist Joins CIBSE

UK-based data centre thermal software and services provider EkkoSense has become a member of CIBSE.

With specialist groups addressing key topics such as ASHRAE, building simulation, energy performance, facilities management, IT, controls, and intelligent buildings, CIBSE's educational opportunities and membership networks provide a great resource for EkkoSense as it builds out its distinctive 'Zones of Influence' proposition for cooling across critical facilities. With its ability to track data centre cooling loads in real-time, EkkoSense is ideally placed to help organisations optimise the total energy and environmental performance of critical facilities such as data centres.

"CIBSE membership sends a clear signal not only of EkkoSense's underlying support for the broader Building Services industry, but also of our determination to promote the importance of effective data centre thermal optimisation across the industry," commented EkkoSense's Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Stu Redshaw. "CIBSE provides a great forum to share our innovative thinking around the kind of real-time decision-making algorithms and scenario planning capabilities that organisations will need to transition towards true AI-enabled data centres."

EkkoSense-optimised data centres can not only deliver 100% rack-level ASHRAE thermal compliance for customers, but also provide significant reductions in data centre cooling energy costs. By integrating the company's innovative sensor and software solutions with the latest Building Energy Management Systems, organisations can achieve quantifiable improvements in data centre thermal performance, with significantly reduced thermal risk levels as well as up to 30% reductions in their overall data centre cooling costs.
