Boosting Security & Energy Savings
- 1. M
cKenney’s implemented a
large-scale access control
and lighting upgrade for an
international data center based in Atlanta.
THE CHALLENGE
The live critical area at the data center
exceeded 500,000 square feet and downtime
needed to be minimized. The facility has more
than 150 standalone enclosures that house
customers’ data equipment. Each enclosure
is equipped with access control card readers.
Prior to the upgrade, all lighting remained
on 24/7, resulting in high energy costs and
premature light fixture failure.
THE SOLUTION
McKenney’s designed a custom engineered,
system to integrate lighting with access
control. The system allows the lights through-
out the data center to remain off until a user
presents their access credentials—card
and/or biometric reader—which activates
only those lights within the affected areas and
turns them off upon departure. The solution
was staged in phases to mitigate disruption
of data center operations.
THE RESULTS
The upgrade was completed on time, under
budget and has become a highlighted safety
and security marketing point for the data
center to use with prospective clients.
