1. A method comprising:
- identifying a first operating characteristic of an information handling system at a first time, the first operating characteristic including an identity of a first application program executing at the information handling system;
determining a cooling configuration of a first piezoelectric cooling fan included at the information handling system based on the identified first operating characteristic, the cooling configuration including an indication of whether the first piezoelectric cooling fan is operational;
determining a first temperature at a first temperature sensor at the information handling system;
in response to determining that the cooling configuration of the first piezoelectric cooling fan is providing a designated level of cooling based on the first temperature, storing a first cooling profile at a memory device, the first cooling profile including the first operating characteristic and the cooling configuration; and
in response to determining that the cooling configuration is not providing the designated level of cooling, adjusting the cooling configuration of the first piezoelectric cooling fan.

Abstract
An operating characteristic of an information handling system is determined. It is determined whether a cooling configuration of a plurality of piezoelectric cooling fans included at the information handling system is providing a designated level of cooling. A cooling profile is stored at a memory device, the cooling profile including the operating characteristic and the cooling configuration.
