Key Measurements in High-Performance Data Centers
Integrating Water, Air, and Thermal
Energy Systems
As power densities rise and cooling architectures evolve, measurement is no longer optional-it’s foundational. This guide outlines the measurement points that deliver true visibility across the cooling ecosystem, from plant to rack.
What you’ll get in this guide
- A clear framework for “what to measure, where, and why” in high-performance data centers
- How airflow and hydronic systems interact—and why siloed data creates blind spots
- The measurement layers that support efficiency, reliability, and capacity planning
- How integrated measurement supports energy accountability and decarbonization goals
