  The Sitem Animationo Render Farm
    2 Cold Aisles
    1,600 square feet
    335kW IT Load
    One 90 ton roof air handling unit and 3 floor CRACs at 30 tons each
    Economizer integgrated with roof unit

  The Containment
2:01
  The Tuningn
    Raised Set Points 72F to 85F
    2 CRACs put in standby
    1 CRAC shut off
    Reset BMS Alarms (統合監視システム？)
3:17
  Outstanding Results
    Annual Energy Savings: $30,000 ($2,500/month)
    Energy Savings: 306,600kWh
    Server Inlet Temp Range: 20F to 6F
    Implementation Costs: $18,700
    PG&E Rebate (下記？): $9,350 (トータルの 50%補助金？)
    Payback: 3.7 Months
  ※(18,700 - 9,350)/2,500 = 3.7 Months

Story ideas from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Computing - Seeking Supercomputing Energy Savings . . .
  http://www.ornl.gov/info/press_releases/get_story_tip.cfm?ID=114#Article3
 "A fan upgrade that will save Oak Ridge National Laboratory's computing
  complex $150,000 a year in energy costs is just the latest step by the
  laboratory to reduce its computing carbon footprint."
 "Furthermore, a new cooling system, dubbed ECOphlex, for the laboratory's
  Cray supercomputers allows the laboratory to reduce the amount of
  chilled water used to cool Jaguar, the world's fastest supercomputer.
  ... a reduction in the volume of necessary chilled water means a
  proportionate reduction in the energy used to cool it."
 "Whereas most centers use 0.8 watts of power for cooling per every watt
  of power used for computing, ORNL enjoys a far more efficient ratio of
  0.3 to 1"
