Arch Rock Energy Optimizer is delivered either as a hosted web portal, requiring no software installation by the customer and has near-zero impact on the customer’s IT resources or as a Server Appliance to organizations that need to host and self-manage their own environmental data.

Applications

• Continuously track and improve data center ef¬ficiency metrics: PUE, DCIE
• Baseline the data center thermal environment before and after implementing aisle containment programs
• Continuously ensure environmental conditions around critical loads, while reducing energy waste
• Get the needed data to implement server consolidation with optimum energy impact
• Get fine-grained visibility of supply and return air temperatures at racks and air handling units, as well as chiller water temperatures and flow rates.

• Accurately measure baseline load prior to efficiency improvement and waste reduction programs
• Track key Indoor Air Quality metrics to ensure they meet ASHRAE guidelines while implementing energy savings measures
• Break out component loads, e.g. from IT equipment and HVAC units to focus mitigation and ROI
• Accurately measure demand peaks for possible time-shifting to avoid utility rate ratchets
• Take advantage of utility incentives associated with peak and base load reduction as well as Time-of-Use (TOU) and Demand Response (DR) programs

• Accurately account for energy costs, utility-adjusted dollar costs, and CO2 emissions rates of individual processes or products
• See process load components in real-time and historical graphs and possible time shifting opportunities
• Design and implement energy efficiency programs without jeopardizing critical processes or Indoor Air Quality and employee comfort, ensuring that overall productivity is not affected
• Measure and verify effectiveness of savings programs and alternative energy sources.

• Implement regulatory mandates by demonstrating reduction of energy spending, ie: EISA 07, EPAct 05, AB32 (California), etc
• Continuously verify conformance to building standards, ie: EnergyStar, LEED, HQE, etc
• Baseline and continuously track progress towards mandated GHG reduction goals
