BUIL07019 2022 Facility and Utilities Management for Data Centres

This module develops the student's ability to manage the energy, including auditing, services and facilities of a data centre. It also aims to develop an understanding of the functions associated with the management of maintenance and facilities, the nature and source of problems encountered and the mechanisms for ensuring compatibility in HVAC, fire protection and tier levels. 

This book is meant to offer Architects, Property Mangers, Facility Managers, Building Engineers, Information Technology Professionals, Data Center Personnel, Electrical & Mechanical Technicians and students in undergraduate, graduate, or continuing education programs relevant insight into the Mission Critical Environment with an emphasis on business resiliency, data center efficiency, and green power technology. Industry improvements, standards, and techniques have been incorporated into the text and address the latest issues prevalent in the Mission Critical Industry. An emphasis on green technologies and certifications is presented throughout the book. In addition, a description of the United States energy infrastructure's dependency on oil, in relation to energy security in the mission critical industry, is discussed. In conjunction with this, either a new chapter will be created on updated policies and regulations specifically related to the mission critical industry or updates to policies and regulations will be woven into most chapters. The topics addressed throughout this book include safety, fire protection, energy security and data center cooling, along with other common challenges and issues facing industry engineers today.

The CIBSE Guides are the core engineering texts in building services; CIBSE Guide F specifically addressing energy efficiency, was first published in 1998. The new Guide is a fully revised edition reflecting key changes that have taken place since then, not least the initiatives in recent Energy Acts, Building Regulations revisions in 2006 and 2010 and the introduction of the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations. There is new material on energy management and drawing up energy strategies.

Now in its fourth edition, CIBSE Guide E has been fully updated to take into account new knowledge and latest techniques. Written by experienced fire engineers, it is intended to give useful, practical advice on fire safety engineering. A new chapter on facade fire safety in included in this edition. Contents -- 1.
