A method of determining optimal air conditioner control is provided that includes determining power consumptions of servers and computer room air conditioners, calculating a number of calories processed by each air conditioner and determining a total number of calories processed as a total heat processed load. Moreover, the method includes determining relevant factors between each of the servers and each of the air conditioners, calculating a percentage of the total heat processed load for each air conditioner, adjusting the corresponding percentage of the total heat processed load for each air conditioner using an operating efficiency curve, calculating a respective power to be consumed by each air conditioner, calculating an efficiency value, determining whether the efficiency value is a maximum efficiency value, and setting each air conditioner at the respective power to be consumed when the efficiency value is the maximum efficiency value.

The invention is claimed as follows: 1. A method of determining optimal air conditioner control comprising: determining a power consumption of each of a plurality of servers and a power consumption of each of a plurality of computer room air conditioners; determining relevant factors between each of the servers and each of the air conditioners, wherein each relevant factor represents a percentage of a total cooling effect on one of the servers due to one of the air conditioners; calculating a number of calories processed by each air conditioner using the determined relevant factors and determining a total number of calories processed as a total heat processed load; calculating a percentage of the total heat processed load for each air conditioner by dividing the number of calories processed by each air conditioner by the total heat processed load; distributing a heat processed load to each air conditioner using a corresponding percentage of the total heat processed load; adjusting the corresponding percentage of the total heat processed load for each air conditioner using an operating efficiency curve; calculating a respective power to be consumed by each air conditioner by dividing the number of calories processed by each air conditioner by a corresponding coefficient of performance value; calculating an efficiency value by dividing a total power consumed by the servers by a total power consumed by the air conditioners; determining whether the efficiency value is a maximum efficiency value; and setting each air conditioner at the respective power to be consumed when the efficiency value is the maximum efficiency value.
