They're not as prevalent as they once were, but each IBM branch has (or
has access to) an Environmental specialist. They're a good resource and
will assist as much as you can stand. Power, HVAC, water, ventilation,
loading, flooring, cabling, EPO, physical security,etc...
Depending on how you plan your data center it can be just another layer

Be VERY concerned about floor loading, lest your data center migrate to
the basement without warning.

in charge of the planning, etc. <VBG>
