Temperature and humidity recommendations for computer
rooms
Practical temperature and humidity recommendations that apply to changing the room
temperature from the basic recommendations or to lowering the underfloor
temperature in unattended areas where paper is not used are explained below.
(1) Changing the room temperature
Before changing the room temperature of a computer room from the basic
recommendations consider the following:
Keep the room humidity constant when direct blowing or duct blowing is used.
If underfloor ventilation and room air conditioning is combined, keep the absolute
temperature, which is a measure of the water content of the room air, equivalent to
a temperature of 24C (75F) and a humidity of 45%. Do not change the flow rate
even if the underfloor temperature is changed.
