ASHRAE has recently responded to the Facebook letter regarding data center energy. Below is the letter from ASHRAE President, Lynn Bellenger, in which she cites the positive contributions of TC 9.9 in developing the new energy code. Also, below is the original letter from Facebook written to ASHRAE.
TC 9.9 is pleased to offer a free download of the white paper titled "Gaseous and Particulate Contamination Guidelines for Data Centers" to all members of the Data Center Community. It is available in three languages: English, Spanish, and Chinese.
Technical Committee 9.9 is concerned with all aspects of Mission Critical Facilities, Technology Spaces, and Electronic Equipment / Systems. This includes data centers, computer rooms/closets, raised floor environments, high density loads, emergency/network operations centers, telecom facilities, communication rooms/closets, and electronic equipment rooms/closets.
