PHCPPros is excited to announce the next installment in our free webinar series! Taking place on Sept. 23 at 10 a.m. CDT, "You Have Choices When You’re Designing Your Data Center" will be sponsored by Watts Water Technologies and presented by Jay Egg, CMC. The webinar will also feature guest speakers from Watts. Attendees can earn 0.1 CEUs through the American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE).

Data Centers are primarily convective and use specialized HVAC designs of differing configuration to keep the equipment served within proper temperature specification. Advancements have been made to safety and energy practices that are not well known. This course will share the industry growth and technological improvements, providing attendees with opportunities to improve energy efficiency and safety of the data centers they design, maintain and repair. Register for the FREE course now at https://bit.ly/3CfQEYb.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the context and verbiage of Data Center Cooling for several different scenarios
2. Identify the importance, adaptability, and benefits of Data Center Cooling and maintenance as vital to safeguarding information technology
3. Understand why Data Center Cooling has become so important to health and safety, and imperative to tech industry growth
4. Understand existing barriers to increased Data Center Cooling needs and how to manage the waste heat
5. Internalize our collective capability and responsibility to improve the safety and efficiency of Data Centers
