Economizers may also be added to the list as they bring down cooling cost drastically.by using fluid economizer,you need not even spend on humidifiers.

by buying devices of the right capacity/ rating also brings down the power consumption. for eg., if you buy a server which is capable of withstanding thrice as much as the required load, it unnecessarily draws more power than a smaller capacity server.
