860 On the Wye Goes ZNE!

A new all-electric affordable housing project for veterans is set to open in San Luis Obispo next month. The innovative Housing Authority of San Luis Obispo project will host residents in a 21-unit, two-story multi-family building with a common space, recreational facilities, a community garden, and onsite resident services from the U.S. Veterans’ Administration.

Computer Room Set Temperature - Going Up!

As the building industry continues to emphasize energy savings, a growing trend is to increase the temperature set point in data centers and office telecom or data rooms.

He would have me walk into the small server room to see my reaction to the chilling 55°F-60°F temperature that was maintained by a dedicated AC system.
