Air cooling has been a hot topic for the data center industry with some of the most going to Yahoo's chicken coop which people don't really talk much about. What is disappointing when companies say they have a new and better way, they don't share the details. What kind of details?
UW has opened a new Molecular Biology office/lab that has a focus on clean energy.
SEATTLE (AP) — As a building, the University of Washington's new molecular engineering lab is interesting in its own right — designed with cutting-edge features to make it energy efficient, and bright lab spaces with killer views of Mount Rainier and the Olympics.
But what really marks the newest building on the UW campus is the work going on inside, where scientists are designing proteins that could one day cure diseases, and clean technology materials that could make it easier to convert solar energy into electricity.
The building is mandated to LEED silver, and should be gold. But what is the best part is the air cooling in this PDF.
It would be nice if the air cooled data center projects shared this amount of data. Then, people could harvest best practices that would apply to their projects
There are diagrams of the airflow.
