May 26, 2014: Vigilent Broadens Cooling Control from Data Centers to Full Building
Single-System Control Generates Energy Savings in Mixed-Use Buildings
OAKLAND, Calif. — Vigilent® has announced that its Dynamic Cooling Management® system now provides consolidated HVAC system control to buildings that house changing configurations of data centers, technical, administrative, and central offices. Version 6 of the Vigilent system adds building-specific thermal control functions to its existing data center controls, enabling owners of mixed-use buildings to reduce energy costs and gain visibility throughout their existing HVAC infrastructure.
“Many of our telecom customers have large portfolios of mixed-use buildings in a constant tug-of-war between the heating and cooling requirements of evolving technology on one hand and retrofitted legacy equipment on the other,” said Dave Hudson, Vigilent CEO. “Vigilent now provides comprehensive automated control for these very different energy consuming regions within a single interface, typically reducing energy usage by upwards of 40 percent.”
