<p>Predictive weather information 202 for the data center's location is received 208, wherein the predictive weather information includes information describing expected future weather conditions at the data center's location. A predetermined target inlet air flow temperature 204 for computing components in the data center is received 210. Excursion information 212 is received describing acceptable temporary operating conditions during which the predetermined target inlet air flow temperature for computing components in the data center is higher than the sustainable inlet air flow temperature for computing components in the data center. A free air cooling schedule 214 is determined in dependence upon the predictive weather information and the excursion information, the free air cooling schedule specifying periods of time during which cooling for computing components in the data centre is provided with free air.</p> |
