skyscrapers

Overview

Black Building tests are normally carried out to test for high availability, performance, business continuity plans and recovery capabilities in a disaster-like scenario. For example, the testing will result in the electrical power to the entire building being shut off imitating a street power outage.

Black building tests tend to be carried out to do one of the following:

  • Simulate a total power failure – leading to a complete power shut-down in a facility
  • Test the functionality of generators, simulating a total (external) power outage, replaced by generator-provided energy. This does not touch any equipment except generators, thus not causing any disruption to systems.

Why Is the Test Important?

Equipment loss of power can result in compromised:

  • Safety
  • Product and equipment protection

  • Comfort in the knowledge that all systems worked as designed
