Server Room Environment

Erik,

What equipment are you going to have in your server room? If you are 
going to have printers or tape drives they have different requirements 
than all
electronic equipment. How is the equipment placed and where are the air 
intakes and air exhaust from the equipment. Where are your HVAC and are
they adding to the room load?

How much heat is the equipment generating?

You want to cool the equipment but you do not want condensation on the 
equipment. You do not want totally dry air as the static will damage the
equipment also. You will need to check with the equipment manufacturer 
to get "the answer" to this question.

Will you have cubicles in the room for people or will it only be equipment.

Only you can answer this question for your equipment and what ever else 
is in the room. Is it a small room or a larger room?
