While ASHRAE's thermal guidelines have been around for some time, due to their complexity and the nuances of different facilities, they have been difficult to apply. During the first episode of this two-part special, ASHRAE joins the DCD studio to cut through the noise and provide clarity to the thermal ranges, a critical factor to get right in the era of high density computing. In particular, this session will cover:

• ASHRAE's recent updates and perspective on the application of thermal ranges
• The nuances between recommended and allowable thermal ranges
• Tangible figures to demonstrate the implications of overcooling
• Common misconceptions surrounding thermal management practices
