The move reflects the opportunity for energy providers to deepen engagements with their commercial customers beyond specific demand side management programs and putting them into new positions as trusted energy advisors. • The growing penetration of BEMS in commercial buildings provides greater insight and actionable information to stakeholders across the value chain including building owners, operators, and service providers. It is a win-win situation: BEMS drive energy savings that improve the bottom line, and at the same time make workspaces more comfortable and convenient. Integrated Data Center Management is the Next Frontier Intelligent buildings integrate software and services to maximize energy and operational efficiency across building systems—from HVAC to lighting and plug loads. Integrated data center energy management is the implementation of a unified intelligent building strategy to optimize both IT and facility resources. As building owners invest in intelligent building solutions to deliver comprehensive energy management, they have begun to look at on-site and enterprise data centers as key candidates for optimization because of data centers’ high levels of energy consumption. By coordinating investment in energy conservation measures, equipment upgrades, and the use of software and services, integrated data center energy management promises to deliver greater energy and operational efficiency improvements to the facility or campus that hosts the data center. The idea is to leverage resources that can meet the needs of both the data center and the larger facility. The deployment of intelligent building solutions and approaches across facility and IT systems will only increase over time, making the integrated data center the next frontier for the intelligent buildings market. A few examples of solutions that help customers manage their on-site data center resources framework include: • BEMS • Advanced cooling solutions and strategies • Intelligent lighting controls • Integrated monitoring and control hardware, such as electric submeters, occupancy sensors, and smart thermostats • Building-integrated renewables 47

(Table 7.3) The promise of the intelligent building is centered on fully integrated energy management enabled by software, services, and advanced automation and control technologies. The evolution of a traditional facility into this intelligent building framework also relies on collaboration across customer teams. This is important context for the integrated data center, as the IT assets represent not only an additional set of energy end uses but also business decision-makers. Furthermore, these assets will continue to demand energy, capital, and business resources. The integrated data center energy management approach can ensure that data centers are optimized for savings and efficiency, and allow data center operators to leverage innovations already underway.
