HVAC Technology

Overheating is one of the greatest challenges in data and command centers. Power supply and thermal control cannot be taken for granted, especially with operators packing more equipment into less space. Level-(1) designs systems with hot aisle-cold-aisle space planning and provides load calculations to mitigate the risks of systems failure due to overheating. Our solutions help to ensure that your systems receive adequate air flow to directly conquer the rising heat, which, left uncontrolled, could lead to systems disruptions.

Controlling Heat

Anyone who has ever worked in a command center with multiple PCs and what seems like miles of structured cabling can tell you – it gets hot in there. Heat can damage infrastructure and slow down or interrupt communications systems at critical moments. We employ professionals who are LEED certified and knowledgeable in HVAC technology and engineering strategies to make sure your equipment stays cool.

Raised Floor Designs

There has been much debate over the pros and cons of raised floor designs. Certainly, not every space is well-suited for raised floors. In some instances, raised floor designs are not even necessary. But organizations that are able to accommodate a raised floor design can expect benefits that go beyond saving space. Raised floor designs enable distribution of low- and high-voltage electricity and HVAC directly to the equipment, rather than having to cool the entire room. By concentrating the air flow, organizations can better manage energy costs and control.

Level-(1) Principal Thomas D. McElroy talks about the benefits of raised floor designs in Processor magazine.
