chicken coop DATA CENTER?
Is it a or a IT’S INNOVATION!
Data centers create a lot of hot air, which means ventilation is essential. The most efficient way to solve that challenge? Let nature takes its course. In this “chicken coop” data center design, we allowed the principles of physics—heat rises—to play an integral part in the design. 100% outside air is drawn into the building through an array of louver and fan walls. By utilizing hot/ cold aisle separation, evaporative cooling, and louvers for heat rejection in the cupola, this facility achieved an annualized Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.08.
