1. Green House Data: All-In With Free Cooling

    Colocation and cloud hosting provider Green House Data this week unveiled design details for its new data center, which will use free cooling year-round. The 25,000 square foot facility in Cheyenne, Wyoming is set to open its doors in the first quarter of 2013. The new facility will use a custom cooling system from Deerns America, which has been hired for its expertise in green data center design. Deerns America, a mechanical and electrical engineering firm, will implement its Green Cooling for Data Centers (GC-DC) technology. Green House Data says it expects this approach to outside air cooling, and with its efficient design, will allow the new facility to run at an annual average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.16 and a peak PUE of 1.22.
