How many temperature sensors you need is less dependent on the size of your facility and more on how uneven the temperature is across it. A single sensor only measures the air touching it, so the real answer depends on the thermal gradient, not the square footage.

Ireland did not ban data centers, but it has made the electricity connection itself conditional. Under the Commission for Regulation of Utilities decision that took effect on 12 December 2025, a new data center connection now comes with obligations attached. If you do not meet the conditions, you do not get connected, or you do not stay connected.

Singapore has not passed a hard PUE law for existing data centers, but it has set the direction and made efficiency a priority for data centers that wish to expand. The National Green Data Center Roadmap, launched on May 30th 2024, aims to bring every data center in Singapore to a PUE of 1.3. An initial release of 300MW of new capacity was awarded only to projects that hit 1.25. If you operate in Singapore, or want to, PUE is now the number that determines your chances.

Immersion cooling posts the best efficiency numbers in the AI buildout, so why is adoption slow? The practical barriers operators actually face.

Rack power monitoring without replacing PDUs or taking downtime: how contactless current meters retrofit live racks and feed real-time PUE.

Germany is set to enforce one of the world's strictest data center regulations with the EnEfG Data Center Law, mandating a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.5 by July 2027. This groundbreaking legislation requires continuous measurement of power and energy demand, pushing operators to adopt advanced monitoring systems. With the deadline fast approaching, data centers must adapt or risk non-compliance. Discover what this law entails, how it impacts your facility, and the steps you can take to ensure compliance. Don't miss out on crucial insights that could shape the future of your data center operations!

A data center contains the enterprise’s IT equipment, applications and critical data, so it’s essential to provide proper security systems and security policy.

A neglected blanking panel during maintenance can create a bypass-air loop that your design may not address. Cold supply air might short-circuit to the return, failing to cool servers and leading to unnoticed warm inlets and potential hot spots. This oversight can compromise your airflow strategy. The answer is rack-level monitoring, which turns this invisible leak into a visible problem. Recognize the importance of data center blanking panels for optimal cooling and how continuous verification can reduce energy waste. Are you auditing your containment based on actual performance or just the floor plan?

The relationship between Relative Humidity (RH), Temperature (T), and Dew Point (DP) governs biological mold growth. In data centers, these exact parameters also drive condensation, hygroscopic dust formation, and creep corrosion on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). This paper outlines how facilities can adapt the Mold Risk Index (MRI) into a comprehensive Environmental Risk Index using continuous monitoring technologies, such as AKCP’s Air Quality and Environmental Sensors.
