International Commissioning Engineers Day Yes, we absolutely made this one up. But why not? Commissioning engineer is a professional more than 100 years old, let's find a day in calendar to celebrate this purposeful profession. Did you know the origins of commissioning stretch back over a century? It first emerged in the early 1900s in the United States, as a quality assurance process for naval ships and submarines, ensuring they were fit for purpose before deployment. [1] This meticulous approach soon expanded across the Atlantic, with the British Royal Navy adopting similar commissioning practices in the 1920s. [2] Some might argued that commissioning engineers came before electrical engineers. As buildings grew more complex in the pre-air conditioning and pre-electricity era, the concept of commissioning migrated to other sectors - from steam-powered factories to the first skyscrapers. Commissioning became the critical link between design, construction, and seamless long-term operation. Today, building service commissioning is essential for maintaining high-performance assets. It verifies systems function as intended, from HVAC to fire safety. Without it, costly malfunctions and energy waste are inevitable. This is especially true for mission-critical infrastructure like data centers, hospitals, and transportation hubs. Rigorous commissioning is the backbone of keeping these vital assets reliable and resilient. In fact, standards like ASHRAE Guideline 0, CIBSE Commissioning Codes, ISO 19650, and NEBB's Commissioning Standards have codified best practices globally. Commissioning is now a cornerstone of sustainable, high-performing built environments. [3] As our world grows ever more dependent on complex, technology-driven systems, the role of commissioning has never been more important. It's the unsung hero that transforms buildings from design to delivery - and beyond. How has commissioning played a part in your projects? How so?

#1MinsRead Underwater Data Centers are Making Waves The Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST) has partnered with Ulsan Metropolitan City, GS Engineering & Construction, and POSCO to develop an eco-friendly underwater data center complex with 100,000 servers. Meanwhile, Chinese company HiCloud has already installed underwater data center modules, and Californian startup NetworkOcean is planning to sink a 500kW data center into San Francisco Bay. However, Microsoft, a pioneer in this space, seems to have lost interest. With the risks and challenges associated with practical implementation and operation, we have to ask: do you think underwater data centers are a good idea? #underwaterdatacenter #datasecurity #missioncritical NV5 Data Centre & Mission Critical Read more: https://lnkd.in/gQXryFPh

[#MarketTrend] STT launch next step in the Philippines. STT announced the launching of its Next Gen Data Hall within its Makati Philippines facility, enhancing IT load capacity to 5MW. The company currently operates 7 data centres in Philippines, with total capacity of 150MW. STT entered the Philippines market during COVID through a strategic joint venture with Globe and Ayala Corporation. The company, like many others, leveraged the huge #datacentre market potential, growing from 2022 to 2029 with CAGR of over 13%, and total capacity to be reaching 954 MW by 2029. Such as #Malaysia and #Indonesia, the Philippine is under the transformation into one of the digital infrastructure powerhouse in #SEAsia. Spectators estimated the strong growth, with people guessing on the government’s position on development of the digital instruments. Without the substantial government funding, currently significant investments are all from private sectors, keen and proactive players include #STT, #VantageDataCentre, etc. Data sources: https://lnkd.in/g_vi2Tpj https://lnkd.in/gd9DJudA #DataCentre #Growth #STTGDC #Philippines #APAC #SEA #MissionCritical
