Research on energy saving of computer rooms in Chinese colleges and universities based on IoT and edge computing technology

To solve the problems of low overall service quality of the university computer room, unstable environment control of the computer room, low adaptive adjustment ability, and high energy consumption. This article takes Chinese universities as an example to analyze university computer room supervision status, use the Internet of Things (IoT) to remotely and automatically monitor the computer room environment and energy consumption, and analyze the amount of data generated by the rapid increase of IoT edge devices. The method and model of edge computing in the computer room energy consumption monitoring system are proposed through research. The monitoring methods of critical parameters such as the computer room's thermal environment and energy consumption are given. Corresponding solutions for computer room management, testing, use, and energy-saving services are given. It provides a brand-new idea for energy saving in colleges and universities and network room security.
