Computer and networking equipment generates much heat. Place enough equipment in a telecommunications
room without ventilation, and the temperature will quickly rise to dangerous
levels. Just as sunstroke affects the human brain, high temperatures are the downfall of electronic
components. The room temperature should match the ambient temperature of office
space occupied by humans, and keep it at that temperature year round.
For this reason, telecommunications rooms should be sufficiently ventilated. At the very
least, some kind of fan should exchange the air in the closet. Some telecommunications rooms
are pretty good-sized rooms with their own HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning)
controls.
