Raising the baseline temperature inside the data center &#8211; known as a set point &#8211; can save money spent on air conditioning. Data center managers can save 4 percent in energy costs for every degree of upward change in the set point, according to Mark Monroe of Sun Microsystems, who discussed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.datacenterknowledge.com\/archives\/2007\/09\/24\/data-center-cooling-set-points-debated\/\">data center set points<\/a> at a conference last year.
