Everything in this course comes together here. Kelbrook Data: a regional colocation facility with two data halls, a 1,600 kW contracted IT capacity, chilled-water cooling, a 2N UPS fleet and customers on availability SLAs, has never had a holistic energy audit. Electricity is its second-largest cost, the sector's CCA target is biting, and every tender now asks for PUE. You're running the audit, stage by stage, exactly as a real engagement would unfold.
