Mid Atlantic Infrared Service

Mid Atlantic Infrared Services has been providing data center support for over 30 years. We help ensure reliable operation in all of your critical electrical and mechanical systems. We have expanded our engineering services to include data center cooling optimization services. All too often data center operators implement “energy saving” investments without fully understanding the actual energy balances in the data center. This approach will never deliver maximum efficiency. We take the opposite approach. We fully characterize the existing energy balances in the data center. We then find the most cost effective energy saving opportunities. We have developed new, cutting edge technologies to support benchmarking data center operations. We rely on an array of tools to determine both the costs and benefits of alternative approaches to maximizing the efficiency of what you already have in place. Our techniques are readily applied in large and small legacy data centers where savings of 20% can often be achieved with minimal investment cost.
