Case Study: Leading Fortune 50 Company achieves $27,000 in annual energy savings with Upsite Technologies EnergyLok

Leading Fortune 50 Company - Customer Case Study

Upsite Technologies worked with a leading Fortune 50 company, a US-based corporation with a large 6,996 ft² data center containing 170 cabinets drawing about 300 kW. Although the client believed its cooling conditions were already optimal, it wanted to know whether airflow management best practices could uncover stranded capacity and reduce operating costs.

Upsite Technologies used its EnergyLok service to assess bypass airflow, hotspots, and cooling capacity, then recommended sealing floor openings, adjusting perforated tiles, and filling cabinet gaps with blanking panels. After remediation, bypass airflow dropped by 60%, all hotspots were eliminated, two cooling units were turned off, and the client achieved about $27,000 in annual energy savings plus $6,000 in maintenance savings, with full first-year ROI and improved reliability.
