Compass Datacenters Awarded LEED® Gold For Nashville Data Center
The suburban Nashville facility was completed in early 2013 and is the second Compass facility to earn LEED Gold certification.
Compass Datacenters has been awarded LEED® Gold certification for its first data center facility in Franklin, TN in suburban Nashville. The 21,000-sq-ft facility was completed in early 2013 and is the second Compass facility to earn LEED Gold certification. 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 Franklin facility was designed and built 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, which is fully leased by an enterprise customer, was built using sustainable engineering and construction practices that eliminate waste and 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.
