[Equest-users] How to Model Data Centers in eQUEST

[Joe Bliss]

Hello All,

I'm wondering what kind of success people have had with modeling data centers in eQUEST, specifically for evaluating retrofit measures like hot aisle containment, DAT reset, increased cold/hot aisle temperatures, etc. How did you set up the zoning for the data center? What system types were used to model CRACs or in-row coolers? What kind of adjustments were made to accommodate having both overhead diffusers and CRACs?

I'm considering an approach of creating a separate zone for each hot/cold aisle and then adjusting the U-value for the walls between them to simulate improved containment. Sound like a plausible strategy or is it overcomplicating the issue?

Any feedback is much appreciated.

Thank you,
Joe
