The worst offenders are the HVAC units, but only due to poor designs by
the people planning and building the DC's and server rooms in the first
place, how many here actually expel the hot air via a rack chimney
system into an overhead plenum (being the air intake for the HVACs) not
many I bet, most I've seen use hot/cold aisle, so the hot air still goes
back into the same DC your trying to keep cool, that's far from
efficient in this day and age.
