Managing data center energy use is a hard and fast way to both reduce energy expenses and avoid the related GHG emissions. Towards that end, TrendPoint Systems has developed the EnviroCube®. a data center cooling management appliance that monitors a full range of electrical and environmental metrics, giving users the information needed to precisely tune cooling units to their best possible performance. In addition, the data provided can also warn users of cooling inefficiencies before they can cause heat-related downtime.

Providing data center managers with an accurate way to measure and manage the performance of computer room air conditioning and computer room air handling units, EnviroCube® measures air flow in cubic feet per minute, temperature rise, as well as voltage, amperage, power factor and wattage of each phase of power feeding the unit. This information is used to rank air conditioning/air handling units from highest to lowest performing, spot potential cooling unit failures before they can cause downtime, and shut down unnecessary cooling units. These metrics also help users identify and tune-up the low performing units so then can perform effectively in the data center.

The EnviroCube® energy management application uses HTML to render live graphs of all key metrics that can be viewed on both the iPad/iPod platforms as well as PCs. EnviroCube® is currently installed in several locations, including a 70,000 sq.ft. hosting center located in Springfield, Missouri.
