Abstract

The invention relates to a structure of a multi-storey computer center building, which is suitable for accommodating a multiplicity of racks, each of which has storage space for computer hardware. The building has a first cooling circuit in order to dissipate heat generated by the computer hardware and the first cooling circuit is designed to supply at least some of the racks with a coolant. The first cooling circuit is also designed to remove the heated coolant from at least some of the racks. And, the racks have heat exchanger devices, which are suitable for transferring the generated heat to the coolant.
