Selecting 20 large-scale data centers in Shanghai as the research objects, analyses the present situation and energy consumption of each data center’s air conditioning system by means of investigation, evaluation and data analysis. The analysis results show that there are some problems in the original design of these air conditioning systems, and 95% of the data centers have high energy consumption, which has a certain optimization space and energy saving potential. Combining with the data center documents or standards and each data center’s actual situation, puts forward some energy saving technical measures for air conditioning systems and estimates their energy saving potential.
