Hot spots, airflow bottlenecks, and delta-T checks are useful—but they only tell part of the story. Learn how a full thermal survey gives operators the data they need to improve efficiency, reliability, and resilience.

As high-density IT deployments increase, many legacy data centers are struggling to keep pace—not because of space or IT limitations, but due to cooling constraints. This article examines why simply adding more cooling equipment isn’t always viable, explores the common causes of stranded capacity, and outlines practical strategies to improve thermal efficiency and unlock headroom—without overhauling your infrastructure.

There are always reasons that things don’t get done. One of the root causes is misinformation or lack of knowledge. Here we will try and bring to light the facts about Thermal Surveys.
