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. As a kid I remember going with my uncle to the UC Irvine computer labs to play videogames with his co-workers. 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.
