• Mechanical: • Provide an (N+1) redundant mechanical system. • Coordinate with the electrical system to provide concurrent maintainability. • Design high-density areas to provide proper cooling per design load and increase cooling efficiency. • Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) or Computer Room Air Handling (CRAH) units can be DX, chilled water or dual source type units. All cooling units are most efficient when higher aisle temperatures are returned to the cooling unit. Local adopted energy code, economizer requirements, and available ceiling/underfloor space will all have large impacts on what type of system and air distribution is selected. • Larger ducted CRAC/H units should be designed to return hot air from hot aisles and supply cold air to the cold aisles. If ducted return is not feasible, an option might be to place CRAC/H units at the end of hot aisles and use return grille options from the cooling unit manufacturer. • Computer Room Air Conditioning Units (CRACs): CRACs provide a flexible, economical option for small to mid-size data centers. They can be used in any climate and are most efficient when higher inlet temperatures are supplied. Due to their required proximity to the racks, they reduce the amount of white space available within the Data Center. CRACs can be installed in both under floor and overhead air distribution options. • CRACs use outdoor air-cooled condensing units and refrigerant piping to provide a flexible, economical option for small to mid-size Data Centers. Due to their required proximity to the racks, they reduce the amount of white space available within the Data Center. CRACs can distribute and return air under floor, overhead, or a combination of the two. Pressurized supply plenums are not preferred but are sometimes unavoidable. CRACs are also available in in-row cooling (IRC) models, which increases cooling efficiency and removes the need for ductwork. • Computer Room Air Handling Units (CRAHs): CRAHs use chilled water to provide cooling. Depending on the adopted energy code of the location, chilled water is normally used for medium to large data centers or facilities that have an existing chilled water plant with available capacity. CRAHs are available in similar options as CRACs described above.

• In-Row Cooling Units (IRCs) provide a flexible, economical option for small to mid-size Data Centers. They can be used in any climate and are most efficient when higher inlet temperatures are supplied. Due to their operation, they are required to be installed within the rack row reducing the quantity of racks within each row. Aside from being employed as a primary cooling system in row cooling units can also be considered for supplemental cooling needs within a Data Center where higher density rack rows are installed. IRCs are placed within the row of racks to provide direct cooling to the cold aisle and direct return from the hot aisle, thereby increasing cooling efficiency. These generally smaller units also make meeting N+1 requirements easier by adding one additional in-row unit per aisle. Using in-row units reduces the future flexibility of the rack layout since they are installed within the rack rows. They also reduce the quantity of racks per row since each unit takes up a rack space. However, end-of-row space is not required as in larger CRAC/H ducted units. In-row cooling eases cooling to higher-density areas by increasing the number of in-row units around the higher-density rack areas. • Ducted CRAH units can be used in conjunction with IRC chilled water units to supply cooling to supplemental areas such as electrical and UPS rooms. Both systems would use the same chilled water system for cooling. • Custom Air Handling Units (Air Side Economizer): Custom Air Handling Units provide a highly efficient cooling system when installed in areas with mild climates. This system is primarily used in large Data Centers and provides the greatest amount of white space utilization by eliminating the installation of mechanical equipment inside the Data Center space. When an under floor air distribution system is selected supply plenum shafts must be provided within the building in order to deliver supply air from the AHU to under the raised floor. When the economizer cycle is not available due to unfavorable temperature and humidity conditions the custom air handling units provide cooling to the Data Center through chilled water mechanical cooling. • Chiller systems can be water or air-cooled depending on most efficient design analysis and local energy codes. • Cooling systems will require emergency power backup consisting of a backup generator. HVAC controls should be on the UPS system. • Cooling shall not be backed up by the IT equipment UPS system.

DESIGN STANDARDS | WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENTS DATA CENTER 6

• Design the humidification system in accordance with local climatic conditions and may include controls on each air handling unit, a centralized system or combination of both. • Central humidification systems may be used if approved by IT and Facilities and meet the ASHRAE performance recommendations. • The parameters for humidity are a target of 20-80% and data center specific. Reference ASHRAE standard 9.9. • If humidification is supplied on an individual basis at each air handling unit, the system must be equipped to operate in a uniform manner such that all units are in the same humidification mode (humidify or de-humidify, but not both at the same time). • Install drip pans under the raised floor, stands of the evaporator / CRAC units, and equip them with leak detection systems. • Provide a separation of the chilled water piping system to be able to detect and isolate leak locations. • Cabling and electrical distribution is above racks if a raised floor is provided. Install piping shall be installed below raised floor.• Electrical: • Research the quality of the power service and distribution equipment, switchgear construction with the draw-out type, circuit breakers, cast coil transformers, copper bus and feeders and SPD devices. • Provide a dedicated emergency generator power system with N+1 redundancy, sized for 100% coverage of data center equipment and support of mechanical loads. Design with a paralleling distribution switchgear, dedicated automatic transfer switches with the bypass/ isolation option for computer equipment and for mechanical, lighting and general power (receptacles) equipment. • Provide an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system, (2N) redundant, to serve separate A and B side power distribution units (PDUs). The UPS to be a static, double-conversion, high efficiency UPS system with either flywheel or battery power backup. UPS to provide power for the Data Center electronic equipment, data communication network equipment and the facility control/monitoring systems. • Power should be located above floor to avoid interaction with water piping. • Follow Tier 3 requirements. Generators are N+1 redundant and all electrical distribution downstream is 2N. • Fifteen-minute battery ride through time required at full load, rated for end of life capacity, with a 10-year design lifetime.

Refer to the Facilities Electrical Safe Work Practices for Busways re: busway selection criteria. • Provide power receptacles matching the PDU power cord (L6-30 for example). • Provide 2N redundancy and physical separation for electrical service and power distribution equipment: N+1 generators, dual UPS’s, pad-mounted transformers, unit substations, switchboards and distribution panels. • Generators: • Generator size shall be coordinated with the UPS and other critical equipment manufacturers and include technical and mechanical loads in the calculations. • Tier 3: N+1 designed generator system for the Data Center, IDF rooms and for life safety equipment, where permitted by code, for minimum 36 hour run time period at full load. Approximate size will be based on site capacity and shall carry data center loads (UPS and Mechanical loads). • Generators shall be installed outside of building where local code allows. • Generator shall have weather-proof and sound attenuated housing. Exhaust shall be “turned up” or designed to eliminate propensity of exhaust being pulled back into generator intake air louvers, or discharged directly onto shrubbery or personnel. • Fuel tanks must be readily accessible and provide secondary containment system sufficient to contain 120% of the tank volume. Where containment areas are located outside, adequate covers shall be installed to prevent collection of storm water. Do not allow bio-diesel. Provide fuel polishing station on a case by case basis based on the use of stored diesel. • An alternative to covering outside secondary containment areas, containment should be sized to hold the volume of the tank plus the anticipated rainfall accumulation as defined by the authority having jurisdiction, (ex: 100 year 24 hour rain event), with drainage valves that can be locked in the closed position.

DESIGN STANDARDS | WORKPLACE ENVIRONMENTS DATA CENTER 7

Additionally, an AHJ may require specialized pollution abatement equipment, minimum exhaust stack height, on-board emissions monitoring, and other considerations, even when no permit is required. Permits may take 6-24 months to obtain before equipment may be installed, depending on the proposed units and the AHJ’s processes, so it is important to consult with EHS regarding these requirements well before the project starts. • Install the UPS in a separate room from the data center. • Power metering /monitoring system to incorporate the electrical switchgears, unit substations, generator power system, UPS, PDUs, computer room panels and/or busways, and their branch circuit breakers and/or tapcans via a data communication interface using a protocol consistent with a facility BMS. • Panel boards, switchgear, motor control centers and similar distribution equipment shall be capable of being made safe through the installation of lockout, tag-out devices when needed to protect workers downstream of the distribution equipment location. • PDUs to support dual power fed computer equipment (A and B side).
