This project consists of a 25,000 square foot Tier III Data Center built fast track by North Carolina-based financial client.

This job includes ~4500 points connected to the critical facility monitoring system, of which only ~1500 are HVAC related. The remainder are related to the electrical and support systems. Components such as automatic emails when CRAC units swap on planned equalized runtime events make the system user friendly and add to the owners' piece of mind.

Electrical equipment integration is a critical piece of the facility monitoring. Alarm limits generate an email message to the appropriate personnel. Caterpillar Generators are monitored via a General Electric PLC in a Russelectric Switchgear. Eaton IQ Analyzers are utilized to monitor real-time facility energy usage. Individual Eaton Breakers are monitored in the switchgear to indicate specific circuit power usage. There is also monitoring of static switches for operation and system information.

Various power distribution equipments by Emerson are monitored by the CFMS including UPS, system bypass modules (SBA), power distribution units (PDUs), and static transfer switches.

Integration to mechanical systems has also been implemented including Liebert Computer Room Unit integration with Liebert SiteGate panel, Distech Lon controllers on office HVAC equipment, DesChamps ventilation units, Lithonia lighting and discrete integration into the fire alarm system.
