The Control Room’s Role in Energy Conservation

Data centers, known for their significant energy consumption, can use 100 to 200 times more electricity than typical office spaces. This high energy use positions them as prime candidates for implementing energy-efficient design strategies, offering the potential for considerable cost savings and reduced electricity consumption. Despite this potential, the critical operations within data centers often place a greater emphasis on reliability and high power density capacity than on energy efficiency.

Command Center Consoles: Combining Ergonomics and IP

When it comes to command center console furniture, the NASA look of yesteryear is long gone. Heavy, metallic consoles and equally weighty wooden furniture are considered relics of the past, in a bit of the same way that NASA space shuttles have gotten sleeker and more agile. The latest approach to designing command centers is minimalist, with thin shapes and lines and even lighter materials, like faux wood, Lucite, and Plexiglas. Desks that look like above-ground submarines have been replaced with polished tables with ample leg room like you’re flying first-class.
