In order to gather both qualitative and quantitative insights, supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed during the primary research process. CEOs, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, heads of product development, and commercial directors from manufacturers of data center cooling equipment, HVAC systems, and infrastructure OEMs were examples of supply-side sources. Data center facility managers, directors of critical infrastructure, energy efficiency consultants, procurement leads from hyperscale operators, colocation providers, enterprise data center operators, and cloud service providers were examples of demand-side sources. Market segmentation, product pipeline timings, and information on technology adoption trends, power use effectiveness (PUE) measures, and energy cost optimization tactics were all verified by primary research.
