My answer to this is, let the room engineering be left to the room
engineers-(the HVAC people) and instead focus on specifying the outcome.
"We need the room to maintain a temperature of no more than 70 degrees
F". 'here are the server heat output specs from the vendors'.
I don't know if you have the ability to do that or not - I hope you
do... If you specify the desired outcome, and the room ends up
being way too warm-- you can (hopefully) go back to them to have the
situation rectified. If on the other hand, you spec out the room (size
of ducts, etc) and you're wrong.. you're done.
Finally.. in all my years of sysadminning, while the data centers I
have been a part of have mostly turned out right-- never EVER have I
had a closet be cool enough. The physical plant (hvac) people
short-change you over every time ("it's just a closet....."). At
least, where I work....
Best of luck --kcb
