Claim One:
1. A method for facilitating optimizing cooling efficiency of a data center, the method comprising: receiving a layout of the data center; computing, via a processor, co-ordinates of each equipment of a plurality of equipments associated with the data center, wherein the co-ordinates are computed based upon a distance of each equipment from a reference location in the data center; segregating, via the processor, the layout into a plurality of cells based on the layout, wherein the plurality of cells comprises the plurality of equipments; capturing preliminary data associated with the data center; determining, via the processor, a state value of the data center based upon the preliminary data; when the state value is less than a reference state value, capturing first level thermal assessment data for each equipment in the data center, processing, via the processor, the preliminary data and the first level thermal assessment data in order to identify thermal assessment cells from the plurality cells, and capturing second level thermal assessment data corresponding to equipments present in the thermal assessment cells; capturing first level CFD data for each equipment in the data center; processing, via the processor, the first level CFD data in order to identify CFD cells from the plurality of cells; capturing second level CFD data corresponding to equipments present in the CFD cells; processing, via the processor, the second level CFD data in order to identify a sub-set of the CFD cells; capturing third level CFD data corresponding to equipments present in the sub-set of the CFD cells; and transmitting at least one of the first level thermal assessment data, the second level thermal assessment data, the first level CFD data, the second level CFD data and the third level CFD data to an external analysis tool, wherein the external analysis tool is capable of performing at least one of a thermal assessment and a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis using the at least one of the first level thermal assessment data, the second level thermal assessment data, the first level CFD data, the second level CFD data and the third level CFD data, thereby facilitating the optimization of the cooling efficiency of the data center.
