Facebook aims to minimize energy consumption, emissions, and water usage
October 2, 2020
When Facebook announced the construction of its Odense Data Center in 2017, they were determined to build one of the most advanced, energy-efficient data centers in the world.
TC 9.9 is composed of a wide range of industry representatives who are all committed to increasing and sharing the body of knowledge related to data centers.
These incentive programs are great for all involved: contractors will save on component costs, end users will save on their energy bill, wholesalers will be able to increase sales by advertising the savings from the rebate program, and utilities will be able to reduce load demand.
They have full-service access to fans, filters, electrical, coil, and piping compartments on the gallery side, minimizing the need for service technicians to access secure data halls.
While many data centers have embraced newer cooling technologies that are inherently more efficient than the systems of the past, outdated control strategies aren’t enabling these systems to deliver precisely the right amount of air to equipment racks with the greatest efficiency.
