Kors Engineering Company, Inc.

Kors Engineering today announced they have partnered with Direct Digital Controls, Inc. to create a module to optimize and monitor energy consumption for data centers. The module is specifically built for systems using the Tridium Niagara AX platform.

Data centers are resource intensive sites that require a great deal of energy to function. Consequently, energy use is a closely watched metric and the relative efficiency is a competitive differentiator, as well as an environmental concern.

Getting the job done while using as little energy as possible is the objective of every data center,” said Direct Digital Controls Brian Lynaugh. “The integration of the tool enabled us to gather data from multiple power distribution units (PDUs) and export that data to tile flow models which helps us easily define the optimum amount of energy consumption for maximum data center efficiency.”

Direct Digital Controls in Northern California specializes in energy management systems directly related to providing sustainability and optimization solutions for institutions, hospitals, data centers, commercial buildings including data exchange, kiosks and digital dashboards.

“Helping data centers efficiently manage energy use is an important market for Kors,” said Kors Engineering President Tony Kaczmarek. “This tool, which can be replicated for use on other systems, not only reduces the number of programming hours necessary for initial integration, but also ensures that each center is operating at maximum efficiency using the proper amount of energy. It helps reduce the facility’s carbon footprint, which is environmentally sound, while operating as cost effectively as possible.”
