PRESENTER: Pepe Castells, Central Engineering Group, Savvis

View the Presentation

A project was initiated to replace/upgrade the controls of the 12 year old chiller and pumping system. The project was completed without any impact to the IT function and the energy savings will provide an 18 month ROI as well as increased redundancy for the facility.

A principal objective of the Green Enterprise IT Awards is to educate the data center and IT industries in effective ways to reduce energy consumption by highlighting innovation and best practices. Knowledge sharing is a critical component of the Green Enterprise IT Awards program.

In this session, a data center owner or operator will present their Award-winning case study of a completed, facilities-based project that significantly and quantifiably improved data center energy efficiency.

Participants include: Ken Brill, Uptime Institute; Lex Coors, GEIT Judges' Panel; Tom Freeman, Jones Lang LaSalle;
Lauralee Martin, Jones Lang LaSalle; Brian Platt, New York State Energy Research and Development Authority;

The Green Enterprise IT Awards are judged by a panel of independent experts selected by the Uptime Institute. To insure objective and independent evaluation, applications are reviewed via a double-blind process: judges do not know whose applications they review, and contestants do not know which judges reviewed their application. In addition, no judge is allowed to judge any Award category that includes applications from his or her own company.
