Compass Datacenters Awarded LEED® Gold Certification For Raleigh-Durham Data Center
LEED Certification recognizes the energy efficiency and sustainability of Compass’ engineering and construction practices.
Compass Datacenters has been awarded the prestigious LEED® Gold certification for its previously announced data center in the Raleigh-Durham area. The certification was awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council and verified by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI). LEED is the nation’s preeminent program for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings.
The 22,000-sq-ft data center facility was completed earlier this year using Compass’ unique architecture for data center design and engineering, which enables the company to build LEED Gold and Tier III-certified dedicated data centers in any location where a customer needs them. This data center facility is located in Research Triangle Park (RTP) in North Carolina, and it was built using sustainable engineering and construction practices that adhere to the USGBC’s standards for materials use, water use, energy efficiency and other sustainability criteria. This facility also utilizes Compass’ patent-pending energy efficient architecture to deliver a low power usage effectiveness (PUE) that ensures sustainable operations and low operating costs.
