Advanced Data Centre Audit

A data centre audit is a structured, expert-led review of your facility. We analyse power, cooling, capacity, and operations. We measure current performance and define where optimisation can deliver real value. This isn’t just a health check — it’s a strategic tool to improve data centre efficiency.

1. Define Your Baseline – We start by understanding your goals. Do you want to certify ISO 50001? Or monitor more closely for resilience? We discuss your business targets and map them to audit metrics.
2. Measure Electrical Load – We assess how much power your data centre draws, and how much spare capacity you have. That includes your IT load, UPS losses, and infrastructure overhead.
3. Analyse Cooling Systems – We check CRAC units (or other coolers) for power consumption and cooling capacity. We see how much spare cooling capacity you have, so we know whether your system can handle growth.
4. Monitor Peak Power – Using temporary load-monitoring equipment, we record your peak consumption over a representative period. This helps us plan for worst-case scenarios.
5. Calculate Your PUE – We compute your Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). This gives a baseline for comparing efficiency and setting improvement targets.
6. Assess Thermal Conditions – We measure aisle temperatures at different rack heights (bottom, mid, top) and chart CRAC supply/return temperatures. This lets us spot hot spots or inefficient airflow.
7. Check Humidity – We examine humidification systems in your CRACs. We propose optimal settings that minimise energy use without sacrificing performance.
8. Map Airflow – We trace airflow in the room, including underfloor plenum (if relevant). We highlight hot/cold aisle leakage, ventilation tile issues, and gaps around cabling. We identify airflow short-circuits and sealing problems.
9. Identify Efficiency Opportunities – We deliver a report that shows current energy costs, plus cost-saving opportunities. We model payback periods for each proposed improvement.

• We give you actionable insights, not just observations. These can be incorporate within your Advanced Data Centre Solutions.
• We link technical findings to business outcomes (cost savings, resilience, sustainability).
• You’ll receive a detailed optimisation roadmap — not vague recommendations.
• Our audits help you future-proof your data centre.
• We support both immediate fixes and long-term strategies.

• Reduced energy consumption: By improving cooling, power distribution, and airflow, you can lower your PUE.
• Better infrastructure utilisation: We help you right-size your UPS and power systems, so you don’t waste energy.
• Improved thermal management: Our audit identifies hot spots, helps you optimise rack layout, and seals leaks in the room.
• Sustainable practices: We highlight opportunities for free cooling, airflow containment, even heat reuse or raised setpoints to save energy.
• Continuous improvement: With detailed monitoring data, you can track performance and repeat the audit to measure gains.
