         The San Diego Supercomputer Center’s  (SDSC) east building is certified LEED Gold in Existing Building Operations and Maintenance. As a data-intensive computing center, SDSC has utilized hot-cold aisles to improve energy efficiency. Hot-cold aisle is a layout design for server racks in which cold air intakes face one way and hot air exhausts face the other. This pattern manages air flow and lowers cooling costs.
