Three main points of building layout of green data center room

"Green" is a synonym for http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/30992.html > Environmental protection, especially important for data center, it is related to energy saving, emission reduction this century topic. At present, energy consumption and space utilization are the biggest cost of data center. Do green energy-saving, in the data center covers roughly two levels, one is the data center of the computer room infrastructure and interior layout, the second is around the room equipment itself materials, noise, cooling, power and IT systems, such as circulation problems.

This article, focusing on the room building and internal equipment, facilities layout on the introduction, to explore what kind of environment and internal integration more environmentally friendly, can be called "Green" data center room layout.

Self-greening of data center building

Green Data Center should refer to what design standards, the industry has not yet recognized standards, but has a certain experience and consensus. In the initial stage of data center construction, the environmental protection and energy saving consideration of the building itself is the first step towards green environmental protection. In the data center room of the basic construction phase, the computer room design to do the overall insulation treatment scheme, such as heat insulation, noise, insulation, radiation, shielding and so on, while avoiding the use of harmful, harmful, volatile, easily aging deformation of building materials.

First of all, in the design to consider insulation, insulation and prevent radiation. Commonly used measures, the computer room area of the building outside the wall is not set outside the window to reduce solar radiation heat into the computer room, reducing the heat loss of the room. Also, the building exterior wall structure uses the high efficiency thermal insulation material and the design, in order to reduce the data center room cold quantity loss, in the building inside wall, the floor uses the thermal insulation design. These measures can better reduce the data center room and the outside heat exchange, save energy consumption. In the covert engineering should be noted that when the shaft through the floor, to avoid the power line interference communication transmission, as far as possible to maintain the spacing 50~60cm. The machine room uses the 15~30cm movable floor, the reasonable effective design ventilation pipeline.

Secondly, in the selection of materials, limit the selection of harmful materials. External wall, avoid the use of light absorption materials or toxic plastic decoration materials. Especially in the room, green and environmental requirements are extremely stringent. Ceiling and wall decoration materials and frames should be used fire-retardant decoration materials, surface to be flame retardant coating treatment; room floor priority to use anti-static floor, the interior of the room using soundproof, dustproof double alloy windows, with shading curtains. The use of energy-saving lighting in the room, reasonable consideration of lighting, air-conditioning and humidity equipment configuration relationship.

Again, the computer room layout focus on the rational division of functional areas. The construction of each system in the computer room depends on the building environment, which is restricted by the building structure and the plane layout, such as the high construction layer, the shape and the area. Data center main building plane layout focus on functional design, architectural modelling design with simple and practical as the goal. Avoid the material waste or increase energy consumption due to design defects.
