The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) is a global organization that establishes standards and guidelines for HVAC and environmental conditions, including those in data centres. ASHRAE’s thermal guidelines for data centres define optimal and allowable temperature and humidity ranges to ensure equipment reliability, longevity, and energy efficiency. These standards are widely adopted to design, operate, and maintain sustainable facilities. ASHRAE also provides best practices for improving energy efficiency and integrating renewable energy, supporting industry efforts to reduce operational costs and environmental impact.
ASHRAE sets global standards for temperature, humidity, and energy efficiency, ensuring reliable and sustainable data centre operations.
They define recommended temperature and humidity ranges to maximize IT equipment performance and longevity while minimizing energy use.
It ensures equipment reliability, aligns with sustainability goals, and enhances operational efficiency in data centres.
