Hycool_IT intends to develop and demonstrate the feasibility to generate and upkeep a Digital Twin of both the IT Server Room and the whole Building.
Electricity consumption of Server Rooms in tertiary buildings constituted a significant share of the total energy consumption in finance and public offices, and it was estimated at 4% of the electricity demand in the EU27+2 tertiary sector. Such demand has been growing in recent years and is expected to grow even more, following the increasing trend for the total EU electricity consumption of data centers. Many companies, school districts, hospitals, and universities are increasingly requiring bigger Server Rooms included in their premises to provide support of their critical Information Technology (IT) applications, as well as the smart managing of the asset itself.
