Data Centres

A defined methodology for recovering data-centre cooling energy.

Enerzyz's continuous, telemetry-based optimisation platform — proven on HVAC and central plant — applies directly to data-centre cooling and power infrastructure, working alongside your existing DCIM, BMS and SCADA systems. No rip-and-replace.

Enerzyz's approach carries an operating discipline shaped by hospitality — one of the most demanding environments there is for uptime, service, security and cost control under constant pressure. That same discipline translates directly to data centres: reliability that can't be compromised, rapid response when something needs attention, and efficiency gains that never come at the expense of resilience or security.

The problem

A data centre's efficiency is usually tracked through PUE (power usage effectiveness) — the ratio of total facility power to IT load. In practice, most facilities run more conservatively than their actual thermal load requires: cooling is provisioned for worst-case conditions and rarely re-tuned as load and layout change, which shows up as overcooling, uneven airflow across rows and segments, and CRAC/CRAH units running outside their optimal range. None of this typically trips an alarm — standard monitoring tracks whether equipment is within safe limits, not whether it's running efficiently — and at 24/7 continuous operation, even a small, sustained inefficiency compounds into a meaningful and recurring cost.

Where Enerzyz fits

Enerzyz connects to your existing infrastructure — DCIM, BMS, SCADA, precision air-handling units (PAHU) and CRAC/CRAH systems — over the protocols already running in your facility, typically Modbus and BACnet, plus rack- and room-level thermal telemetry where available. Nothing is ripped out or replaced; Enerzyz reads what's already there and adds a continuous analysis and optimisation layer on top of it.

The same operating model applies here as in every other vertical: read-only by default while a baseline is established, any move to active optimisation is opt-in and reviewed and approved by your team, every action is logged and reversible, and your operators retain override authority at all times. Your BMS/SCADA layer remains the authoritative control system throughout.

Security is treated with the same discipline as reliability, not as an afterthought: ISO/IEC 27001 certified, read-only by default, no inbound ports, isolated from your data and building networks. See Security & Data → for the full platform posture, which applies here the same as everywhere else.

What Enerzyz is built to analyse

Overcooling & supply-temperature optimisation

Platform capability

Compares supply-air temperature and cooling output against actual rack- and room-level thermal load, to identify where cooling is being delivered well beyond what the load requires.

Airflow modulation

Platform capability

Continuously tunes fan speed and airflow delivery to real-time demand rather than a fixed setpoint, within the safe operating envelope your engineers define.

Cross-segment thermal balancing

Platform capability

Uses rack- and room-level thermal telemetry to find hot/cold-aisle and cross-segment imbalance across the floor, so cooling capacity is redistributed to where it's actually needed.

Cooling inefficiency & PUE drift

Platform capability

Tracks PUE against IT load and CRAC/CRAH supply-air temperature against setpoint, to catch drift consistent with filter blockage or coil fouling before it becomes a sustained cost.

UPS & power anomaly detection

Platform capability

Pattern analysis surfaces recurring draw anomalies invisible to standard monitoring, and ties them to the specific process and circuit responsible.

Broader electrical & life-safety analytics

Platform capability

The same telemetry-analysis approach extends to UPS health and loading trends, generator readiness signals, transformer thermal trends, on-site solar performance, and correlating fire/alarm events against operational data — as analysis and early-warning support for your engineering team, never as autonomous control of UPS, generators, transformers or life-safety systems.

How the commercial model works

A committed PUE improvement, at a fixed fee per megawatt. We commit to a PUE improvement and we measure it at matched IT load. This is a ratio, not a money guarantee, which is why it works in colocation.

The fee is set on contracted IT capacity, so it does not move when your load moves, and the rate tapers as contracted capacity grows, applied to each site. At Month 4 we test whether at least half of the agreed annual PUE improvement has been achieved using valid matched-load data. It is a continuation gate, not a separate performance guarantee. If we miss the commitment, a service credit applies against the fee.

You give us nothing to start with but access to data. We connect read-only, and you decide loop by loop whether we ever control anything. Once we have surveyed your site and accepted the required data, we confirm the fee for it, and the commitment for your site is confirmed after technical assessment. Commercial models are subject to change as the model develops. Only the final signed Facility Services Agreement binds and prevails.

How it starts

A free Full Facility Assessment is the first step, and it's exactly how a first data-centre deployment gets evaluated: independent and advisory-only, it establishes whether your facility is a good fit, what telemetry and systems are already available (DCIM, BMS, SCADA, rack/room sensors), what a realistic baseline looks like, and what the optimisation opportunity could be worth on your own data — before anything is committed to.

Where we are today

Technical platform capability & methodology

Platform capability

The platform, integration approach and optimisation methodology described on this page are real and in place today: continuous telemetry-based analysis across DCIM/BMS/SCADA, Modbus/BACnet connectivity, rack- and room-level thermal balancing, and the read-only-first, customer-approved operating model that governs every Enerzyz deployment. This is the same underlying capability proven on HVAC and central plant at InterContinental Dhaka, applied to data-centre cooling and power infrastructure.

No public data-centre deployment yet

Proven result

We do not yet have a published data-centre case study, and we're not claiming one. Our deployment evidence to date is the InterContinental Dhaka hotel case study: a 25.8% HVAC energy reduction over three months, with zero disruption. An assessment is how a data-centre result gets established honestly, on your facility's own data.
