Strategic Guidance for High-Stakes Decisions

Operators, investors, and developers face decisions worth hundreds of millions. Wrong cooling technology, wrong site, wrong density assumptions. We provide the engineering-grounded analysis that removes guesswork from capital allocation.

Technology selection and due diligence

Technology Selection and Due Diligence

Which cooling technology fits your climate, tenant mix, and financial model? Air cooling, direct liquid cooling, rear-door heat exchangers, or immersion? The answer depends on variables that most advisors do not model.

We evaluate cooling strategies against real operating data from deployed facilities. Our technology assessments include capital cost, operating cost, water consumption, PUE impact, and maintenance burden across a 15-year lifecycle.

  • Cooling technology evaluation with lifecycle cost analysis
  • Technical due diligence for acquisitions and investments
  • Financial modeling support for lenders and equity partners
  • Independent design review for third-party engineering work
Consulting for investors and developers

Who Engages Us for Consulting

Sovereign wealth funds and private equity firms use our technical due diligence to validate data center investments before committing capital. We assess mechanical infrastructure, cooling capacity, and operational risk.

First-time data center developers engage us to avoid the mistakes that experienced operators already learned from. We accelerate your learning curve with direct access to engineering expertise across dozens of deployed facilities.

Enterprises building private AI infrastructure and general contractors entering the data center market turn to us for the mechanical engineering knowledge that their existing teams lack. We fill the gap without the overhead of permanent hires.

Capabilities

Consulting Disciplines

Engineering-grounded advisory services for data center investment, development, and operations decisions.

Technology Selection

Data-driven evaluation of cooling technologies against your specific climate, density, tenant, and financial requirements.

Due Diligence

Technical assessment of mechanical infrastructure, cooling capacity, and operational risk for acquisition and investment decisions.

Financial Modeling Support

Engineering inputs for financial models including capital cost estimates, operating cost projections, and lifecycle replacement schedules.

Cooling Strategy Assessments

Evaluation of existing or proposed cooling architectures against current and projected compute density requirements.

Third-Party Design Review

Independent technical review of mechanical designs produced by other engineering firms, identifying gaps, risks, and optimization opportunities.

PUE Optimization Audits
