Pre-Build Phase:
We provide mechanical and controls engineers BMS consultation and sensor specification tailored to the unique requirements of data centers.
Building Management System (BMS) Consultation
Initial System Assessment
We conduct comprehensive evaluations of proposed BMS configurations to identify specific data center needs, optimizing energy efficiency and operational effectiveness from the start.
Design Integration Strategies
Effective integration of HVAC subsystems is crucial. Our consultants provide strategies to ensure seamless collaboration, enhancing monitoring and control capabilities from day one.
Tailored Design Solutions
Recognizing each data center's unique requirements, we design customized BMS solutions that account for scalability and future technology needs.
Regulatory Compliance Planning
We ensure that the proposed system architecture meets industry regulations, minimizing risks and avoiding compliance issues.
Staff Training and System Familiarization
We prepare facility staff for the new system by designing training programs focused on BMS functionalities and maintenance protocols.
Sensor Specification
Optimal Sensor Selection:
Selecting the right sensors during design is critical for effective monitoring. SCI and Setra assist in choosing sensors based on the required data types (temperature, humidity, air quality) and the data center’s environmental conditions.
Calibration Considerations:
We plan regular calibration processes to ensure sensors provide accurate readings from the start, outlining initial calibration protocols and ongoing maintenance schedules.
Data Integration Planning:
Effective data integration is essential. Our consultants advise on transmitting and incorporating sensor data into the BMS for real-time access and compatibility.
Lifecycle Management:
We help develop strategies for sensor replacement and upgrades, ensuring the system remains effective and reliable over time.
Performance Monitoring Framework:
Establishing a framework for ongoing performance evaluation is vital. We plan audits and assessments to maintain accuracy and functionality as the system operates.
By incorporating BMS consultation and precise sensor specifications in the pre-build design stage, data centers can lay a solid foundation for enhanced efficiency, reliability, sustainability, and ultimately avoid disaster down the road. SCI and Setra plays a pivotal role in optimizing these design elements, ensuring that the data center operates at peak performance from the moment it opens.
