# Coolerpark

*/Startups/Coolerpark*

## Startup Overview

This software links data center thermal output directly to cooling infrastructure by analyzing live server telemetry. The system continuously adjusts HVAC setpoints to match the immediate heat generation of active compute workloads.

Data center operators face a constant mismatch between server activity and facility cooling capacity. Pumping excess cold air wastes electricity, while isolated thermal hotspots threaten hardware integrity during intensive processing spikes.

Legacy BMS providers and static CRAC configurations rely on fixed room temperatures, and manual thermal audits provide only point-in-time data. This platform operates strictly hardware-free, extracting temperature metrics directly from the IT equipment. By remaining dynamically workload-aware at the rack level, the system modulates chilling infrastructure in exact proportion to the thermal exhaust of running applications.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting regional colocation providers aiming to lower facility PUE without new hardware capital expenditure.
- Designed for enterprise on-premise data centers seeking to manage fluctuating thermal outputs from high-density AI workloads.
- Intended to validate a 10-15% reduction in cooling energy consumption across standard hot-aisle containment zones.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Single Facility · Price: ~$400–$800/mo per MW of IT load · Inclusions: Real-time telemetry ingestion via standard server protocols, dynamic HVAC setpoint generation, and single-site thermal mapping dashboard for facilities up to 10 MW.
- Name: Multisite Enterprise · Price: ~$250–$500/mo per MW of IT load · Inclusions: Volume pricing for deployments exceeding 10 MW across multiple data centers, cross-facility aggregation, and custom API integrations for workload-shifting.
**Guarantee**: If the software fails to identify actionable cooling energy savings exceeding its own subscription cost within the first 90 days of baseline telemetry collection, the contract can be canceled immediately and all paid software fees refunded.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- We cannot give automated write-access to our facility BMS. -> The platform is designed to operate in a read-only 'advisor mode', providing actionable setpoint recommendations for manual execution until your facilities team builds trust in the models.
- Our server fleet uses mixed hardware from five different vendors. -> The system is designed to integrate strictly with open IPMI and Redfish standards, bypassing proprietary vendor tooling to read baseboard thermal telemetry directly.
- Rapid HVAC adjustments could trigger hardware thermal throttling. -> The adjustment engine applies strict rate-of-change dampening logic, designed to ensure rack inlet temperatures never breach ASHRAE TC9.9 recommended bounds.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- A 90-day baseline and optimization pilot within a single 5 MW data center zone to prove the software identifies actionable cooling energy savings exceeding its own subscription cost
- A 30-day read-only shadow deployment across a multi-tenant colocation facility to validate accurate telemetry ingestion and generate manual HVAC setpoint recommendations without altering the live BMS
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 10-15 percent reduction in total cooling energy consumption across standard hot-aisle containment zones
- Target: 100 percent adherence to ASHRAE TC9.9 recommended rack inlet temperature bounds during automated HVAC adjustments
- Aim: Sub-30 minute deployment time to establish baseline telemetry ingestion using standard open IPMI and Redfish protocols
- Target: 90-day return on investment where identified electricity savings exceed the monthly software subscription cost per MW of IT load
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-sized regional colocation provider: Integrates server telemetry to optimize existing HVAC setpoints, lowering facility Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) without requiring capital expenditure for new cooling hardware
- Enterprise on-premise data center operating high-density AI workloads: Correlates workload-driven thermal spikes with facility cooling systems, preemptively adjusting containment zone cooling to cut energy waste while maintaining hardware safety boundaries
- Hyperscale facility operations team: Deploys a multisite thermal mapping dashboard across distinct geographic locations to centralize HVAC management and standardizes telemetry ingestion across mixed-vendor server fleets
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Data Center Facilities Manager: Relief that the platform operates in a read-only advisor mode initially, allowing the team to manually verify HVAC setpoint recommendations before trusting automated write-access to the BMS
- Director of IT Infrastructure: Appreciation for the seamless integration with mixed-hardware server fleets using open standards, entirely bypassing the need for proprietary vendor tooling
- VP of Cloud Operations: Confidence in the rate-of-change dampening logic, confirming that rapid HVAC adjustments never trigger hardware thermal throttling during traffic spikes

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Data center facility managers refuse to grant software-only write access to legacy building management systems due to uptime and hardware failure fears. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Older bare-metal server fleets lack standardized baseboard management controller thermal telemetry, preventing accurate rack-level modeling. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: Hardcoded API rate limits on legacy cooling infrastructure prevent the continuous setpoint adjustments required to match dynamic compute workloads. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: low · Description: Sudden compute workload spikes trigger over-cooling responses before thermal mass stabilizes, temporarily degrading the energy efficiency metrics. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
