Abstract
A method of determining optimal air conditioner control is provided that includes determining power consumptions of servers and computer room air conditioners, calculating a number of calories processed by each air conditioner and determining a total number of calories processed as a total heat processed load. Moreover, the method includes determining relevant factors between each of the servers and each of the air conditioners, calculating a percentage of the total heat processed load for each air conditioner, adjusting the corresponding percentage of the total heat processed load for each air conditioner using an operating efficiency curve, calculating a respective power to be consumed by each air conditioner, calculating an efficiency value, determining whether the efficiency value is a maximum efficiency value, and setting each air conditioner at the respective power to be consumed when the efficiency value is the maximum efficiency value.
