It is how we work together to make the College sustainable
From the preliminary investigation we also found that temperature ranges emanating from the floor grilles indicate different temperatures. Prompted by this we’ll set a project task to adjust dampers correctly using anemometer/temperature probe and set a baseline. It will also be included this into regular checks and maintenance procedures.

ABS Consulting have conducted preliminary thermal imaging of some cabinets in the trial area and there is a very visible difference between a cabinet that has no equipment installed and has no blanking and a cabinet that has equipment installed with the gaps blanked off. The images highlight the mixing of warm back into proposed cold through the open cabinet. Temperature diffference can reach 8oC.
