A greener way to cool data centres

This was first published on NUS Engineering news. Researchers led by NUS Mechanical Engineering Associate Professor Lee Poh Seng have developed a high-efficiency hybrid cooling solution for ‘green’ data centres, achieving a near-ideal partial power usage effectiveness score. The team has now incorporated a company, CoolestDC Pte Ltd, to commercialise this technology.   Read more
