Chiller Upgrade Provides Energy Efficient Data Center
Waste Management is seeing about a 100 kWh drop in monthly power utilization
AUSTIN, Texas — Data centers continue to evolve and become more efficient. The need for efficient HVAC is essential to ensure cost-effective, reliable operation given servers generate significant amounts of heat. As part of a facility upgrade, Waste Management, headquartered in Houston, replaced its chiller plants to serve its production data center facility in Austin, Texas, one of two data centers the company operates.
Over time, it became clear that the two original air-cooled chiller plants in the 2002-built facility needed replacement.
