Mar 14, 2008 : Virginia Green Facility Being Built


📅 - Data center owner and operator Power Loft (http://www.powerloft.com) and data center equipment provider Validus DC Systems (http://www.validusdc.com), recently announced they are building a 220,000 square foot data center facility in Manassas, Virginia.


Located in Manassas Technology Park, the nearly $200 million building will feature an energy efficient design. The environmentally-friendly enhancements could potentially save $9 million a year in energy costs, says the company.

The facility will include four greenery-matted metal screens and covered by a shrub-filled roof to trap overflow rainfall. It will also be equipped with warmer-running mechanical equipment on a separate level below the more cool-running computer servers.

"We can handle three times the computing power using half the land and a lot less [electrical] power," says Power Loft president Jim Coakley. "We're more efficient as the density grows in our building."
