Efficiency impact

'Most energy is lost due to poorly configured temperature and humidity controls and set points, and it is vital that all the key elements that affect how heat is reduced and removed from the facility should be considered as a whole in order to achieve maximum efficiency. Hot and cold aisle layout with blanking plates is very effective, however it’s the control of the warm return air and minimising hot and cold air mixing that is critical to avoiding hotspots, maintaining ‘redundancy' and reducing energy'
