Outline of Final Research Achievements

This series of studies relates to air conditioning facilities for rooms accommodating IT equipment that generates large amounts of heat. To ensure that this equipment is cooled reliably and efficiently, we focus on three main points: (1) optimizing the thermal environment inside the room, (2) improving the efficiency of the air conditioning facilities, and (3) ensuring that these facilities operate reliably. We systematically organize issues that cross the boundaries between different industrial fields; “IT equipment design & construction (manufacturing industry), architecture and operation of information services (service industry), and air conditioning equipment design & construction (construction industry)” and quantitatively clarify the measures to be taken and the effects of these measures. The results of these studies are compiled into highly practical form.
