How to Improve Indoor Air Quality in Data Centers and Server Rooms

Data centers and server rooms are facing increased demands due to the continuous influx of data and the rising demand for artificial intelligence, real-time analytics, and other computationally intensive tasks. As a result, they are operating at higher capacities than ever before.

The density and energy consumption within these spaces is continuously increasing, and the reliance on technology and data, along with the cost of downtime, has reached unprecedented levels. Because of the sensitivity of the equipment used in data centers and server rooms, poor indoor air quality can affect hardware performance and even lead to server failure, forcing significant downtime and financial loss for repairs and replacement. 

According to the Uptime Institute’s Outage Analysis report of 2022, 60 percent of digital infrastructure outages now incur costs of at least $100,000, compared to 39 percent in 2019. A significant number of organizations surveyed (one in five) experienced “serious” or “severe” outages in the past three years, resulting in substantial financial losses, damage to reputation, violations of compliance regulations, and even instances of loss of life.

Furthermore, the impact of poor indoor air quality on human well-being, daily productivity, and physical health in these spaces should not be overlooked. In addition to its effects on employees, inadequate indoor air quality, whether caused by dust and other particulate matter or harmful gaseous chemicals, can also hamper technology performance and lead to equipment failures and outages. These disruptions result in expensive downtime, unplanned repairs and replacements, dissatisfied customers, and potential breaches of compliance regulations.

In this article, Camfil air quality experts take a look at why indoor air quality poses a problem in these environments, explore possible solutions to enhance indoor air quality in data centers and server rooms, and highlight the benefits that organizations can gain by investing in cleaner air.

Common Air Pollutants in Data Centers and Obstacles to Better Air Quality

In prominent media and public policy discussions, outdoor air quality usually takes center stage. However, indoor air quality can be as much as fifty times more polluted than the outdoor air in the corresponding area because pollutants can become highly concentrated in stagnant or recirculated air. 

Data centers and server rooms inevitably contain contaminants. Merely opening a door can introduce these impurities into the space. Moreover, outdoor air pollution from sources such as auto exhaust, manufacturing, and industrial processing, and natural particulates like pollen, dander, and dust can infiltrate data centers and server rooms through ventilation systems. 

Gaseous air pollutants like sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and chlorine salt can corrode and damage not only servers, drives, and computer processors, they can also harm power and cooling systems that keep equipment running and prevent overheating. 

When servers overheat, the air can become warm and humid, leading to moisture that corrodes its hardware. Essentially, servers themselves can be the source of  gaseous contaminants that cause significant damage. Furthermore, dust and particulate matter can obstruct airflow and hinder the optimal functioning of moving parts.

Ventilation systems in data centers and server rooms circulate and replace the air 30 to 50 times per hour, compared to the average commercial office’s rate of only two to six times per hour. Simultaneously, these systems must effectively filter out harmful contaminants while maintaining acceptable air quality and helping employers meet occupational safety and health standards for workers. 

In summary, maintaining the highest level of indoor air quality is a complex task, but it should be a top priority to ensure that your organization operates at an optimal level.

Strategies for Improving Indoor Air Quality in Data Centers and Server Rooms

Data center equipment can be protected through the goal of minimizing contaminants and maintaining clean air. Continue reading to discover tips from air quality experts for improved data center air quality.

Temperature and Humidity

Today’s high-density environments demand reliable maintenance and monitoring of temperature and humidity levels. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has developed guidelines for these metrics. 

For A1 to A4 equipment, ASHRAE recommends maintaining a dew point temperature range of -9 to 15 (16 to 59) and a relative humidity of 50 to 70 percent. It is also important for organizations to adhere to the recommendations provided by hardware manufacturers and to install sensors that can generate alerts when these levels deviate from the acceptable range. 

Ventilation and Air Circulation

Proper ventilation and air circulation are needed to improve indoor air quality, cool equipment, prevent the buildup of moisture, and keep equipment running at maximum efficiency and performance. 

The warm air created by the heat produced in data center and server room components needs to be continuously replaced with cool air. Additionally, effective airflow management should consider factors such as flooring, spacing between racks and rows, room temperature, HVAC ducts, and other relevant considerations.

Air Filtration and Air Purification Systems

A robust air filtration system will maintain clean air within data centers or server rooms. This system not only purifies the air but also pressurizes it to prevent the entry of external air pollutants and particles into the facility. When selecting an air filtration system, prioritize those with real-time monitoring capabilities to ensure optimal efficiency of the filtration devices.

Air purifiers with highly efficient HEPA and molecular filters improve indoor air quality by eliminating dust particles, air pollutants, VOCs, odors, and other harmful gases. They will even remove diesel fumes that may enter your facility from the outdoor environment. Choose particulate air filters with five-star ratings through the Energy Cost Index program. This indicates the filter is the most energy-efficient, longest-lasting filter available. For molecular filters, make sure they are validated under ISO Standard 10121.

Low-Emission Equipment and Materials

By utilizing low-emission equipment and materials, such as air filters manufactured with fewer chemicals and eco-friendly substances, data centers and server rooms can achieve multiple benefits. These measures not only contribute to improved indoor air quality but also lead to reduced energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. 

Best Practices for Housekeeping and Cleaning

The unfortunate reality is that many commercial facilities are a primary source of their own air pollutants and contribute to their own poor indoor air quality. Ironically, housekeeping and cleaning procedures are among the biggest culprits because they tend to spread chemicals and particulates instead of containing and removing them.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends minimizing the use of chemical cleaners indoors. Use mild soap and water and look for the EPA’s Safer Choice label when choosing cleaning products. Safer Choice is part of the EPA’s pollution prevention (P2) initiative, which focuses on reducing, eliminating, or preventing pollution at its source.

Good Business, Good Health:  The Benefits of Clean Air

When you learn how to improve indoor air quality in data centers and server rooms, you improve the health of your equipment and your business. Air pollutants can damage technology and cause equipment to fail. At the very least, the pollutants affect performance and efficiency. 

Cleaner air reduces the risk of costly downtime and repairs and increases equipment lifespan, allowing you to maximize the return on your infrastructure investments and avoid early replacement of equipment. 

Better indoor air quality can also make a meaningful difference in employee health. A cleaner, safer work environment often translates to fewer sick days, more energy, improved morale, higher employee retention rates, and higher productivity. 

Finally, improving air quality in your data centers and server rooms contributes to substantial cost savings. By reducing energy consumption, reducing repair and maintenance costs, extending the life of equipment, and reducing the risk of downtime, investments in air quality can have a six-figure impact on your bottom line.

How is the Air Quality in Your Data Center and Server Rooms?

The importance of indoor air quality in these critical areas cannot be emphasized enough. While organizations often prioritize data security and physical security, they don’t always realize that indoor air quality can be equally important to ensure smooth daily operations, prevent downtime, and safeguard valuable business assets, including infrastructure and human capital.

To improve indoor air quality in data centers and server rooms:

  • Maintain temperature and humidity levels according to ASHRAE and manufacturer recommendations.
  • Ensure proper ventilation and air circulation to continuously replace warm air with cool, clean air.
  • Install or upgrade air filtration and air purification systems with high-quality particulate and molecular filters to minimize the presence of air pollutants.
  • Look for low-emission equipment made from eco-friendly materials to reduce environmental impact and energy consumption.
  • Implement housekeeping and cleaning best practices that prevent the spread of particulates and chemicals.

Tulsa and Oklahoma City Allergy Seasons Ranked in the Top Five Worst for Allergy Sufferers in the U.S.

The 2023 Allergy Capitals Report, released in March, named Tulsa and Oklahoma City among the top five worst allergy seasons in the country, with Oklahoma ranked at number four and Tulsa at number five. 

The report, conducted by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), examined data from NASA on pollen levels along with statistics about over-the-counter medication usage and access to allergy specialists to determine which of the United States’ 100 most populous cities has the worst allergy season. Oklahoma City has earned a high-ranking spot for seven consecutive years and Tulsa joined it in the top 10 for the first time in 2020. 

In this article, air quality experts from Camfil explain the Allergy Capitals Report, explore why Tulsa’s allergy season is so severe, and discuss potential solutions for seasonal allergies in the region. 

What are the symptoms of seasonal allergies? 

Allergic reactions to pollen and mold, commonly known as hay fever, seasonal allergies, or seasonal allergic rhinitis medically, occur when a person’s immune system reacts negatively with inhaled pollen particles in the air.  Although hay fever is usually associated with the season of spring, different kinds of plants release pollen at different times of year, meaning that some places, particularly those with warmer climates, experience some kind of pollen allergy year-round. 

Symptoms of pollen allergies vary in severity from person to person, with some experiencing only mild discomfort while others may need specialized medical treatment from an immunologist due to the disruption in their life that pollen allergies cause. The most common symptoms of pollen allergies are: 

  • Sneezing 
  • Runny nose (thinner mucus) or stuffy nose (thicker mucus)
  • Sinus irritation
  • Red, itchy, or watery eyes
  • Itchy ears, nose, and mouth
  • Sore or scratchy throat
  • Itchy skin, which may lead to visible hives or rashes
  • Fatigue 

What is the Allergy Capitals Report and Why Does Tulsa Rank So Highly?

The Allergy Capitals report, released annually by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), is an analysis of data from the 100 most populous American cities to determine the severity of each city’s allergy season. The cities are then ranked based on their score, which is based on pollen and mold spore count, over-the-counter medication use, and accessibility of allergists and immunologists in the area. 

Tulsa was ranked the fifth worst city for allergy sufferers, while Oklahoma City just two hours away was ranked number four on the list. Both cities have notably high pollen counts (showing that the presence of allergens is high), high over-the-counter medication usage (indicating that many people are affected by the presence of allergens, and moderate availability of allergists, immunologists, and other relevant specialists (meaning that it can be difficult to access medical treatment for allergy symptoms for those who cannot find relief from over-the-counter allergy medications).

What Are the Most Common Seasonal Allergens in Tulsa? 

Tulsa’s high pollen count comes mostly from tree pollen, though some species of weed and grass significantly add to pollen levels.  Common tree allergies in Tulsa include mesquite, elm, juniper, mulberry, and ash. Weed species like ragweed, plantain, and nettle are also considered common seasonal allergens in the area. Finally, grasses like Bermuda, Kentucky bluegrass, and sweet vernal grass all can pose a risk of allergy symptoms. The following trees are the most common pollen producers that cause allergies in the Tulsa area: 

  • Maple 
  • Hackberry
  • Pecan
  • Hickory
  • Red Cedar
  • Ash
  • Walnut
  • Mulberry
  • Oak

When is Allergy Season in Tulsa? 

Because the primary allergens in Tulsa and surrounding areas are trees, allergy season peaks significantly in the spring and tapers off through the summer, with only a handful of plant species pollinating during the fall and winter months. In recent years, Tulsa’s allergy season has been starting as early as February. 

What Factors Make Allergy Season Worse in Tulsa? 

Air quality in Tulsa and surrounding areas is good during most times of the year, according to the Air Quality Index, but other factors may increase the severity of allergy symptoms, such as: 

  • Tulsa gets more rain annually than the United States average; rain not only allows more plants to propagate but can also trigger plants to release pollen in bursts. 
  • The climate of Tulsa is characterized by relatively rapid shifts in temperature and mild winters, which can cause plants to begin pollinating earlier in the year than in other colder climates. 
  • Rising temperatures in recent years have made allergy season in Tulsa begin earlier and last longer. 
  • Oklahoma experiences significantly more wind, including tornadoes, than other parts of the country, which disperses pollen far away from its source. 

How to Minimize Allergy Symptoms in Tulsa, OK, This Spring

Unfortunately, it is difficult for allergy sufferers to completely avoid pollen and eliminate hay fever symptoms, but the following tips help minimize spring allergy symptoms: 

  1. Stay inside when it’s windy. 
  2. Keep track of pollen counts in your area. 
  3. Bathe or shower after coming in from outdoors. 
  4. Change and wash your clothes after extended periods of time outdoors. 
  5. Keep doors and windows closed during pollen peaks, particularly if it is windy
  6. Vacuum frequently to prevent pollen from gathering on surfaces and upholstery in your home.
  7. Use antihistamines and anti-inflammatory medications when necessary.  
  8. Protect your home with HEPA filters. 

How Do Air Purifiers Help with Seasonal Allergies? 

Individuals with pollen allergies often spend extended periods indoors to steer clear of outdoor pollen. While this is frequently recommended for severe allergies, indoor spaces may not be as safe as you presume.

Indoor spaces can be up to fifty times more polluted than the surrounding ambient (outdoor) air due to poor ventilation, which allows pollutants to build up in the stagnant air, and in buildings where air is recirculated without adequate air filtration. Pollen is an indoor air pollutant and can build up in homes, offices, classrooms, and other indoor environments in the same manner as other pollutants. 

Importantly, the panel filters in most HVAC systems are only effective enough to prevent damage to the equipment but do not stop smaller particles such as pollen from entering the airstream and being inhaled by building occupants. 

Air purifiers with factory-tested HEPA filters are the ultimate solution for seasonal allergies in homes, offices, classrooms, gyms, and commercial and public buildings to remove pollen from the air and provide allergy sufferers with clean, comfortable air. They are independent of the building’s HVAC system, so no specific HVAC requirements are necessary. Additionally, air purifiers easily plug into standard electrical outlets, allowing for simple installation without professional assistance.

Using a high-quality air purifier that utilizes tested and certified HEPA filters, like Camfil’s City M, can immensely help to mitigate indoor pollen concentrations that often cause allergy symptoms. Besides the HEPA filters, this air purifier incorporates an activated carbon filter that has the added ability to capture and diminish irritants such as household odors, fumes, and VOCs, which can cause respiratory irritation. 

The installation of an efficient air purifier like the City M, along with medication and immunotherapy, can help you effectively manage your allergies this season and enjoy spring more comfortably.

Dallas, Texas, Allergy Season Named Among the Worst in the Country, According to Annual Allergy Capitals Report

The annual Allergy Capitals Report has recently named Dallas, Texas as the second worst city in the country for allergy sufferers. The report looked at a variety of factors, including pollen count, over-the-counter medication usage, and the accessibility of allergists and immunologists to determine which areas are most affected by allergy season each year. In Dallas, high levels of pollen and other allergens make it especially difficult for those with allergies or asthma to enjoy the beautiful weather that the city offers year-round. 

In this article, air quality experts from Camfil discuss the findings of the Allergy Capitals Report, explain the causes of Dallas’s severe allergy season, and explore solutions and remedies for seasonal allergies in the region.

What Are the Symptoms of Seasonal Allergies?

Seasonal allergies, which are also commonly called hay fever, or by their official medical diagnosis “seasonal allergic rhinitis,” are caused by a reaction to airborne allergens, such as pollen and mold. Because plants only release pollen at specific times of the year (though the exact window varies by region and type of plant), seasonal allergies occur during specific seasons. 

Symptoms of seasonal allergies can include: 

  • Sneezing
  • Stuffy nose
  • Runny nose
  • Red, itchy, or watery eyes
  • Itchy ears, nose, and mouth
  • Throat pain and irritation
  • Fatigue or excessive tiredness

For some people with seasonal allergies, the symptoms only cause mild inconvenience and discomfort, but for others, the symptoms can be severe and cause major life disruptions, causing allergy sufferers to have to use sick leave and preventing them from attending important events as they try to avoid pollen exposure and manage their symptoms. 

What is Allergy Capitals Report and Why is Dallas Ranked so Highly? 

Dallas has recently been named among the worst cities in the country for allergy sufferers due to its high levels of pollen and other allergens. Each year, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America releases its annual “Allergy Capitals” report, which ranks the 100 most populous cities in the United States by their levels of pollen and other allergens. 

The primary cause of seasonal allergies is an overactive immune system that reacts to airborne particles, such as pollen, mold spores, and dust mites. These particles can trigger an allergic reaction, causing symptoms like sneezing, a runny nose, itchy eyes, and coughing, and occasionally  more severe symptoms such as a swollen throat or hives on the body. 

The Allergy Capitals report measures the levels of pollen and other allergens in each city as well as the availability of allergy treatments and services. Dallas has been ranked the second worst city for allergy sufferers (behind Wichita, Kansas) due to the city’s high levels of year-round allergens, high over-the-counter allergy medication usage, and moderate availability of allergists per capita.

When is Allergy Season in Dallas? 

The climate in North Texas is hospitable to a diverse variety of trees, flowers, grasses, and weeds, making for a rich natural ecosystem. However, this also means that there are high pollen counts for a large portion of the year. 

According to pollen count data from Kleenex, the most difficult times of year for allergy suffers in the Dallas-Forth Worth metropolitan area are February through April, when many species of trees pollinate, and September through October, when weeds and other plants pollinate. 

Pollen levels are moderate but still noticeable to those who experience allergies to specific pollutants during the rest of the year:

  • Grass pollen season spans from March to September
  • Tree pollen season is most severe from February until April, but extends through June
  • Ragweed pollen season is August through November, with notably high pollen counts compared to most other regions 
  • Mountain cedar pollen occurs from December through February 
  • Mold spores are released at moderate levels year-round, but peak in July 

What Seasonal Allergens Are Common in Dallas?

The DFW area has notably high counts of ragweed pollen in addition to an extended ragweed season compared to other areas of the United States. Other common allergens contributing to the high pollen count include: 

  • Bermuda grass
  • Timothy grass
  • Sweet vernal grass
  • Ragweed
  • Cedar tree
  • Hickory
  • Poplar tree
  • Oak
  • Elm
  • Ash
  • Pecan tree
  • Cottonwood tree

What Factors Make Allergy Season Worse in Dallas? 

Although Dallas tends to have good outdoor air quality year-round, according to the Air Quality Index, there are several factors that can make allergy season worse in some areas. These include:

  • Concentrated pollutants from local industry and power plants. 
  • The windy climate and flat landscape, which facilitates the faster spread of allergens.  
  • Humidity and temperature fluctuations that affect air quality and trigger the release of larger amounts of pollen from some plants.
  • Pollen counts increase with sunny weather.
  • Pollen counts increase with rain. 

Top 8 Tips for Minimizing Allergy Symptoms in Dallas, TX 

Children’s Health of Dallas, a network of pediatric specialists across North Texas, names eight essential strategies for managing allergy symptoms in Dallas and surrounding areas. 

  1. Stay inside in dry, windy weather conditions. 
  2. Plan yard work around pollen spikes.
  3. Change and wash your clothes after extended periods of time outdoors. 
  4. Bathe or shower after coming in from outdoors. 
  5. Keep doors and windows closed. 
  6. Vacuum often. 
  7. Use a nasal rise to move allergens out of your nasal passages. 
  8. Protect your home with HEPA filters. 

How the Right Air Filters Can Help Alleviate Allergy Symptoms

Many allergy sufferers end up spending a large amount of time indoors in an attempt to avoid the pollen present outside. While this is a recommended course of action by allergists and immunologists for those with severe allergies, you may not be as protected indoors as you think.

Pollen is considered an indoor air pollutant, and pollutants can be as much as fifty times more concentrated in indoor spaces. This is especially true of indoor spaces with poor ventilation, which causes pollutants to build up in specific areas, and spaces that recirculate polluted air without adequate filtration to remove harmful pollutants. It is important to note that the panel filters that come with most HVAC systems are only effective enough to protect the equipment from being damaged by large dust and debris particles, but are not efficient enough to protect human lungs from smaller particles. 

Premium air purifiers with factory-tested HEPA filters are the most effective air filtration solution for seasonal allergies. Air purifiers are also more accessible to most people, because they operate independently of the building’s HVAC system, meaning that no particular HVAC specifications are required, and they plug into standard electrical outlets, meaning that installation is easy and does not require professional assistance. 

Air purifiers can be used in homes, offices, classrooms, gyms, and commercial and public buildings to remove pollen from the air and provide allergy sufferers with breathable air.

Using a high-quality air purifier that utilizes tested and certified HEPA filters, like Camfil’s City M, can immensely help to mitigate indoor pollen concentrations that often cause allergy symptoms. Besides the HEPA filters, this air purifier incorporates an activated carbon filter that has the added ability to capture and diminish irritants such as household odors, fumes, and VOCs, which can cause respiratory irritation. 

The installation of an efficient air purifier like the City M, along with medication and immunotherapy, can help you effectively manage your allergies this season and relish a more comfortable spring.
