[...] Intel had their idea for cooling the data center directly with outside air. [...]

Great results with the PoC and viability of using air side economizers in dry places.

The graph only shows Jan-May variations in Temperature & humidity, while this study was done over 10 months. Wondering if consistent high temps in June/July/August reveal any trends!

Thanks for sharing the results, great work!!

Very interesting results. I wonder if with improved filtering (to reduce the dust buildup) if you would get better “buy in” while not significantly increasing costs.

Don and Intel DC Team,
Congrats on your great success with the air side economizer PoC. Aside from it providing potential great cost reduction in DC OPs , you have more importantly shown another way for us all to reduce our carbon footprint and make for a more “green ” enviroment

great job!!

A wondeful effort
