Vaisala Launches Origo to Reduce Cooling Energy Waste in Data Centers by $805 Million Annually
Vaisala has launched Origo, a modular measurement platform aimed at improving environmental monitoring in data centers, which predominantly use air cooling. By correcting a mere 0.5 °C temperature error, data centers could save approximately $805 million annually in cooling energy costs, highlighting the importance of precise measurements in reducing energy waste and emissions. Origo offers high accuracy with replaceable sensors designed for critical environments, ensuring minimal disruption during updates.

Vaisala has introduced Origo, a next-generation modular measurement platform designed to enhance environmental monitoring in data centers. Approximately 80% of the world's 12,000 data centers rely on air cooling.
Correcting a 'half degree' error could save around $805 million in annual cooling energy waste, totaling about $8 billion over ten years, based on typical 10 MW facilities. A temperature deviation of just 0.5 °C in a 10 MW data center can lead to over $800,000 in wasted energy costs over a decade.
As data centers account for about 1.5% of global energy consumption, precise measurement is crucial for managing energy use and emissions. Origo features a temperature accuracy of ±0.1 °C and relative humidity accuracy of ±1% rH, suitable for critical environments like data centers and clean rooms. Its replaceable sensors allow for quick updates with minimal disruption.
