Abstract
ABSTRACT The advancement of Internet and computer technology has largely increased the demand of building internet Data Center (IDC). But, high power energy consumption of IDC is always ranked among the top in all categories. In accordance with the era of earth getting warming and energy exhausting, the issues of energy-saving is concentrated by all of the world, how to reduce energy consumption and increase operational efficiency of IDC’s management becoming very urgent and serious matter to the owners of enterprise. The necessary condition of LEED’s energy evaluation of the IDC with 300RT level is PUE numerical has to be reached under 1.52, but in accordance with the real situation of PUE measurement result in local IDC constructions which is over 1.9 averagely, it shall has 30% improving space for energy-saving, the aim of my research is improving IDC energy- saving by PUE indication and provide the better design and innovation for IDC constructions for enterprises in country to reach the result of energy improvement. This research is collecting relative local and worldwide documents of high energy efficiency IDC constructions to get more understanding about the methods of studies and making the questionnaire to the experts, collecting more professional data then going through analysis and study to figure out better solution and points of IDC construction energy saving design, in order to provide local enterprises improving the best solution to cost down IDC’s operational fee effectively. The conclusion has been collected and arisen in accordance with the research as follow: 1. There are 24 energy consumption factors have been found from the literature review and content analysis. Moreover, through expert questionnaire, 14 factors with the importance score higher or equal than 4.0 are further sorted out for improvement consideration. 2. The solutions for the major factors of energy saving have been solicitated through questionnaires survey. After synthesizing major energy saving solutions, Paired-Samples T Test was performed to verify the reliability of the collected data. The resulted solutions could be suggested to the enterprises for improving their energy saving during IDC design and renovation construction in the future.
