PROJECT SUMMARY & KEY OUTCOMES Designing the layout of electronic equipment room interiors and sizing environmental control systems can be complex tasks depending upon the amount of equipment and the demands of the environment. The goal of this project was to size the cooling system needed to maintain the electronic equipment in its cases at the required operating temperature as well as to assess the overall room temperature for human comfort. As the room may be occupied during operation, a single person was included as an additional heat source. The ceiling inlet and the floor outlet were defined as boundary conditions that could be resized easily and relocated if necessary. Known heat sources in the equipment racks were also defined as inputs to the simulation. STAR-CCM+ analysis
