In this paper, different configurations of linear quadratic regulators are designed and evaluated using a data center simulators. The controllers regulate the outlet temperature and volumetric airflow of two Computer Room Air Handler units in order to dosify the cooling power supplied to the servers. The data-center simulator is used to analyse the controller performances. The controllers are judged based on their estimated energy usage and how often the server temperatures in the data center exceed a temperature threshold.
