Facility Design Audit

The Facility Design Audit is used to evaluate the physical condition of existing Data Centers. It produces standardized building condition information, enabling meaningful comparisons within an inventory of similar Data Center types or functions. This comparison allows infrastructure to be ranked according to relative condition, and enables capital planning for renovation and replacement based on objectively applied criteria of condition.

For each Data Center, the Facility Design Audit produces a record of:
•general characteristics of a the facility
•history of additions, renovations or major system improvements
•condition rating of systems and system elements
•comments on maintenance requirements
•comments on essential remedial requirements
