Jan 13, 2009 : ADC Saves Big with New Facility
📅 - Data center operator Advanced Data Centers (adatacenters.com) announced on Tuesday it has received the largest-ever reward from the state of California's Savings by Design (savingsbydesign.com) program, according to reports by GreenerComputing.
Last September, ADC showcased its energy-efficient data center design solutions as well as higher density solutions with integrated cable management at the 2008 BICSI Fall Conference in Las Vegas.
Sponsored by four of California's largest utility companies under the guidance of the Public Utilities Commission, Savings By Design is a program designed to encourage the construction of energy efficient buildings.
Under the program, which was adopted by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, building owners and their design team are provided with a range of benefits for constructing the most energy efficient buildings possible.
ADC's Sacramento data center in McLellan Business Park, which began construction last year, has already surpassed its energy efficiency goal.
Designed from the ground up, the ADC facility expects to save an unprecedented $2 million per year in energy costs for the first building of its proposed four-building facility alone.
The facility deploys various energy efficiency techniques, including the use of outside air cooling, grey water from the site itself for landscaping, plumbing and cooling towers, integrating energy efficient technologies and an energy efficiency design.
The data center's Power Usage Effectiveness, which is the amount of energy needed to cool one watt of power in a data center, is 1.12, which is significantly lower than the average PUE rating that ranges from 1.8 to 3.
