Tejas Desai (pictured standing at podium) and Sameer Behere (seated next to podium), Engineering Managers for Willdan Energy Solutions, presented their white paper, “Data Center Temperature Set-point Impact on Cooling Efficiency,” at the Association for Energy Engineers (AEE) World Energy Engineering Congress (WEEC) Conference in Washington, DC, on September 27, 2013.

The white paper analyzes performance data collected from vendors and actual operating data from data centers over a series of temperature regimes to define the impact on energy savings offered by increasing temperature set points.
