CHAPTER 4 Air Conditioning
(2) Lowering the underfloor temperature
In unattended areas where paper is not used and where only those devices that have
broad permissible underfloor and room temperature and humidity ranges are installed,
the underfloor temperature may be lowered. As an example, in an unattended room
associated with a large system installation involving multiple computer rooms, hold
the underfloor relative humidity to 70% or below to keep the room humidity at a
lower level.
