Federspiel Controls energy management systems also has the advantage of providing Akamai with visibility into its data center’s cooling infrastructure, enabling facility management to spot problems before they occur’ and to find better ways of improvement.
Once the Federspiel Controls energy management system was implemented Akamai experienced significant energy savings by optimizing the cooling dynamics of existing equipment within the data center.
As a result, Akamai will reduce annual kilowatt hours used by approximately 150,000 – equivalent to the annual electricity use of 13 households. In addition, the company expects to reduce its annual carbon emissions by 170,000 lbs.
With the use of Federspiel Controls dynamic cooling technology, Akamai can operate its data center with fewer computer room air conditioners (CRACs) and no impact to temperature or performance.
