Data Center HVAC & Precision Cooling
Clean, efficient cooling technology engineered to slash your data center's energy costs — without compromising uptime or thermal integrity.
Data centers consume up to 40% of their total energy budget on cooling alone. Peck General Construction deploys next-generation, clean HVAC technology purpose-built for high-density server environments — reducing your Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and delivering measurable savings from day one.
Thermal Hotspots
Uneven server rack temperatures causing hardware throttling, failures, and costly unplanned downtime.
Skyrocketing Energy Costs
Legacy CRAC units running at full blast 24/7, draining your operating budget with inefficient constant-speed compressors.
Poor Airflow Management
Mixed hot and cold air streams bypassing servers, wasting cooling capacity and creating dangerous recirculation zones.
Aging Infrastructure
Outdated cooling systems struggling to keep pace with modern high-density compute loads exceeding 15 kW per rack.
Precision Cooling Units
Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) and Computer Room Air Handler (CRAH) units with variable-speed EC fans for pinpoint temperature control.
Hot/Cold Aisle Containment
Physical containment systems that separate supply and exhaust airstreams, eliminating bypass air and improving cooling efficiency by up to 30%.
In-Row & Rear-Door Cooling
Close-coupled cooling deployed directly at the rack level for high-density environments exceeding 20 kW per cabinet.
Free Cooling Economizers
Airside and waterside economizer systems that leverage Southern California's mild nights to provide free cooling hours, slashing compressor runtime.
High-Efficiency Chillers
Variable-speed centrifugal and screw chillers with industry-leading kW/ton ratings for large-scale chilled water plants.
BMS & DCIM Integration
Building Management Systems and Data Center Infrastructure Management platforms for real-time monitoring, alerting, and automated failover.
Clean, Efficient Data Center Cooling Technology
The modern data center is the engine of the digital economy — and cooling is its single largest operational expense. Traditional raised-floor CRAC systems designed for 5 kW racks cannot handle today's AI, HPC, and hyperscale workloads pushing 30+ kW per cabinet. Peck General Construction specializes in designing and deploying clean, energy-efficient HVAC systems that dramatically reduce the total cost of ownership for data center operators across Southern California.
Precision Airflow Engineering
We engineer every data center cooling deployment around Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling. Before a single piece of equipment is installed, our team maps the thermal profile of your facility — identifying hotspots, recirculation patterns, and wasted cooling capacity. Hot aisle/cold aisle containment is the foundation: by physically separating supply air from exhaust air, we eliminate the mixing that forces traditional systems to overcool the entire room just to keep the hottest rack safe.
For high-density deployments, we install in-row cooling units and rear-door heat exchangers that place cooling capacity directly at the point of heat generation. This close-coupled approach delivers precise temperature control to individual cabinets without the energy waste of pushing chilled air across an entire raised floor.
Energy-Efficient Technology That Pays for Itself
Every component we specify is selected for maximum energy efficiency. Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) on pumps and fans reduce power consumption by matching output to real-time demand — rather than running at full speed 24/7 like legacy systems. Our high-efficiency centrifugal chillers achieve industry-leading performance ratings below 0.5 kW/ton at part load, delivering massive savings on your monthly utility bill.
We aggressively leverage free cooling economizer hours. Southern California's climate provides hundreds of annual hours where outside air temperatures are low enough to bypass mechanical cooling entirely. Our integrated waterside and airside economizer systems automatically switch to free cooling when conditions allow, reducing your annualized PUE toward the 1.2 benchmark that leading operators target.
Redundancy & Uptime Guarantee
Data center cooling is mission-critical infrastructure. We design every system with N+1 or 2N redundancy, ensuring that the loss of any single cooling component does not impact your operations. Automatic failover controls, emergency bypass dampers, and strategic thermal mass reserves provide layers of protection. Our installations integrate directly with your DCIM platform, providing real-time temperature, humidity, and airflow telemetry at every rack.
Title 24 Compliance & Sustainability
California's Title 24 energy code imposes the nation's strictest requirements on commercial mechanical systems. Our engineers ensure every data center cooling installation meets or exceeds these mandates — from economizer integration to minimum equipment efficiency ratings. We help our clients pursue LEED certification and meet corporate sustainability targets by deploying systems that minimize refrigerant charge, use low-GWP refrigerants, and maximize the utilization of renewable energy sources.

Frequently Asked Questions
Depending on your current infrastructure, our clean cooling technology typically reduces cooling energy consumption by 25–40%. Free cooling economizers and VFD-driven equipment deliver the largest savings.
Containment physically separates the cool supply air from the hot exhaust air in your server room. This prevents mixing, eliminates hotspots, and allows you to raise supply air temperatures — reducing compressor energy by up to 30%.
Yes. We use staged deployment with temporary portable cooling units to maintain thermal stability throughout the entire retrofit process. Your servers stay online and protected.
Our goal is to bring your facility's PUE below 1.3. With full economizer integration and high-efficiency equipment, many of our installations achieve PUE ratings approaching 1.2.
Absolutely. We design, install, and service air-cooled DX systems, chilled water plants, cooling towers, and hybrid economizer configurations for facilities of every scale.
We design to your uptime requirements — from N+1 for enterprise facilities to 2N for Tier III and Tier IV data centers requiring concurrent maintainability and fault tolerance.
Yes. We integrate with all major BMS and DCIM platforms including Schneider Electric, Vertiv, Siemens, and Johnson Controls, providing real-time monitoring and automated controls.
Yes. Our maintenance programs include quarterly filter changes, coil cleaning, refrigerant analysis, belt and bearing inspections, and 24/7 emergency response for critical cooling failures.
We prioritize low-GWP refrigerants, maximize free cooling hours to reduce mechanical compressor runtime, deploy variable-speed equipment that matches output to actual demand, and help clients meet sustainability and LEED certification goals.
