A History of ASHRAE Technical Committee TC9.9 and its Impact on Data Center Design and Operation
The ASHRAE Technical Committee TC9.9 had its beginning from a group of thermal engineers from the various IT manufacturing companies (15 companies in all made up of members who were acquainted through ASME conferences). Those first meetings starting in 1999 focused on 4 topics that our Thermal Management Consortium considered lacking in the industry: ü Power Trends of IT … [Read more...]
