Data centers often consume a lot of energy. It has more so escalated due to the rapid growth of the information technology (IT) industry. U.S. data centers consume on average 90 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity yearly.

Because of the necessity for faster deployment and utilization, data centers are now simplifying their design and construction. This is also to keep up with the increasing control costs.

Environmental monitoring provides real-time access to the temperature, humidity, and other environmental stats of the data center. The data logged on the system can be accessed at all times.

As power and heat loads rise, efficient cooling is becoming more challenging. Developing an airflow improvement plan is difficult as it is not perceptible by the eyes. One way to address this challenge is the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics.

Weather conditions play an important role in the curing and strength of concrete. Severe hot or cold weather is a big challenge in maintaining the concrete temperature within allowed limits.

Overseeing a controlled environment is a prerequisite for a reliable data center. Temperature is one of the most extensively monitored parameters by data center administrators. Fluctuations can cause rapid equipment failures.

Temperature monitoring demand in data centers proves to be growing as the high-density data centers evolve due to the global consumption of zettabytes of data. On average, a data center has millions of servers occupying almost 65% of the facility.

Environmental conditions are an uncontrollable yet important factor during cold weather concrete temperature monitoring. The concrete curing process is highly dependent on how hot or cold the temperature is.
