Seminar 77 -- Smart Indoor Environmental Models for Data Centers

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

This session aims to highlight smart indoor environmental modeling approaches for real-world practice. We will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of full scale CFD modeling and compact models. Then we will illustrate where and when the compact models can be used with examples from real world practices in data centers.
