The audit is an evaluation of facilities, electrical, heating & cooling as well as an assessment of the equipment, the network and the applications that run across them to show how to cut power use or grow within existing space and energy contstraints.
The firms cited a study by Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, Self Benchmarking Guide for Data Center Energy Performance, which revealed that in a typical data center installation an average of 33% of the total power goes to IT Equipment. The rest is consumed by cooling (50%), the power system (9%), and lighting (8%).
"The energy audits Acumen Solutions and KTA perform are far more practical and holistic than any others we've seen in the industry," says Shally Bansal Stanley, Managing Director of Global Services at Acumen Solutions. "They give companies the big picture and a broad spectrum of options enabling them to save money faster and more efficiently.
The Data Center Energy Audit is targeting Fortune 500 and large federal or state agencies to identify reductions in energy consumption.
"Our new Data Center seeking LEED certification is a prime example of the excellent work that KTA Engineering can provide," said Mark Ruhe, Vice President of Real Estate for T. Rowe Price. "Energy saved in the data center can be channeled into further technology improvements or other business growth efforts."
The savings guarantee comes in the form of a free offer. "If the Data Center Energy Audit does not find recommendations for savings that equal or exceed the cost of the audit, the Audit is free. This applies to all data centers with over 5,000 square feet of space or over 150 servers in operation."
