Raise the temperature in your data center a few degrees and you can save money.  However, if the temperature in the data center causes the server fans to run too high, they will negate the saving from the chillers and air handlers.

Recommendations form industry groups for heating and air conditioning professionals recommends a temperature range from 77 to 80 degrees.  As the room temperature rises, the  chiller water set point can be raised as well.
