Chatsworth Products (CPI) provides a variety of tools and support services to help architects, consultants and engineers with the information they need to implement a state-of-the-art data center that meets all construction requirements and goals.
Here are six way to propel your proposal to a winning opportunity:
Building information modeling (BIM) projects can speed up completion and improve labor productivity, thus reducing final construction spending. At no cost, CPI offers an extensive library of BIM files to help design professionals plan and draft an ideal installation. These Revit Models from Autodesk Seek® are built to meet the most recent standards of BICSI, Autodesk® Seek RMCSG and others.
Pro tip: Be sure to also take a look at our other free design tools, such as CAD Blocks to lay out an equipment room, or the cable fill values for a variety of CPI cable management and runway products.
The CPI Product Configurator allows you to create custom products and systems according to your application requirements. Once built, the Configurator will present a total list price, rendered drawings and offer a selection of distributors or global resellers. Email
CPI also offers one-on-one assistance to help customers develop data center projects that integrate standard or customized CPI products into a total design approach, delivering dramatically lower operating costs and data center optimization. Services include:
