Chiller plant optimization - Where’s the data coming from?

Chiller plant optimization isn't just about smarter algorithms—it's about better data.

End-to-end visibility across chillers, pumps, cooling infrastructure, and IT loads enables operators to reduce overcooling, improve efficiency, and support increasingly dynamic AI workloads.

Dr Stu Redshaw shares his guide "Chiller plant optimization - where's the data coming from?" https://hubs.li/Q04jZWGm0 The key lesson: optimize the system, not just the equipment.

Fan Affinity Laws Explained

One of the most overlooked truths in data centre cooling:

Fan energy savings are exponential — not linear.

Reduce fan speed by 20% and power consumption can drop by nearly 50%.

That’s the power of applying real engineering principles to data centre optimisation.

Peter Simon’s latest paper https://hubs.li/Q04j8pNG0 explores how eliminating bypass airflow and improving thermal visibility enables operators to safely reduce fan speeds without compromising SLAs.

Small operational changes can unlock massive efficiency gains.

Without effective instrumentation you’ll never know if you have a problem

Successful liquid cooling deployments are all about understanding potential risks and having the right level of visibility into increasingly complex cooling installations. When you’re investing hundreds of millions in AI data centers, lack of visibility is simply too big a risk!

EkkoSense is the only company to put an extensive monitoring wrap around your liquid cooling operations. We understand that unless you effectively instrument all aspects of your cooling, then you’ll never know if you have a problem. And given the costs involved, it’s infinitely better to identify and resolve potential liquid cooling issues before they start impacting availability.

The Cost of Overcooling

For years, data centres have relied on overcooling as an insurance policy against SLA breaches.

But what if the real risk is continuing to waste energy?

In his latest white paper, Peter Simon explains why modern optimisation is no longer about guesswork — it’s about combining thermodynamics, AI-driven telemetry, and real-time visibility. Read it here https://hubs.li/Q04hsM210

Key insight: Raising room set points from legacy 20°C environments toward modern ASHRAE-aligned operating ranges can significantly reduce cooling energy consumption while maintaining operational resilience.

The future of optimisation isn’t more cooling. It’s smarter cooling.

In 2025 EkkoSense partnered with the Green Building Initiative (GBI), enabling data from our EkkoSoft Critical platform to support the Green Globes® certification scheme.

At the recent GBI Better Buildings seminar, ’s Steve Lewis and Shelley Domant spoke with industry leaders about the growing focus on sustainable, energy-efficient data center operations - both legacy and new builds.

From ESG reporting to operational optimization, the conversations reinforced how critical intelligent management, cooling and performance visibility are in helping data centers reduce energy use while supporting continued digital growth.
