Taking a 'Belt and Suspenders' Approach to Cooling - Contingency planning is an affordable, flexible, reliable way to prepare for the worst

摘要

In the world of facility management no one can afford to be caught unprepared in the event of an emergency. Yet the uncertainty of today's economy is forcing many facility managers to tempt fate. Organizations of all sizes are under increasing pressure to cut capital expenses and focus on revenue-generating core competencies. As a result, substantial facility investments are being put on hold, with limited or aging equipment forced to operate for as long as possible in what commonly is referred to as "run-to-fail" mode. For facility managers in such predicaments, there is the cooling contingency plan, an affordable, flexible, and reliable way to prepare for the unexpected.
