Companies can track how hotter periods affect cooling and electricity costs and, depending on the cooling system, water use and the risk of disruption. They can also assess any additional investment needed to maintain reliable cooling. Better monitoring and more efficient cooling can help manage these risks. I agree that companies that prepare early may be better placed to control costs and protect reliability.
DOE confirms that cooling is a major source of data-center electricity use, some cooling systems use substantial water, and real-time monitoring and efficient cooling can reduce energy use and protect against excessive temperatures.
