Energy Consumption Reduced!
|
Elean Data Campus is unique in that energy consumption has been
reduced from 65MW to 34MW by the use of combined heat and power, and absorption cooling.
Tenants Energy Bills will be 27.5% less than they currently pay, and they will be exempt from Carbon Tax.
The running costs on the site are reduced in year one by £12m across the site, and in year twelve,
energy cost savings will exceed annual rental.

Datacentre Europe Award!
|
|
Cambridge was awarded the Datacentre Europe award for "Innovation Future Thinking
and Design Concepts" on Wednesday 17th December 2008. It was won in the face of
strong competition from HP, Kyoto Cooling and Arup. The International panel of
Judges acknowledged, the 40% energy saving across the site, which is equivalent
in carbon saving, to removing 55,000 cars from the road. Click here to view the award.

Cambridge Data Centre
This 100 acre Brownfield site strategically located between Cambridge
and Ely, a former world war RAF base is being regenerated as a
700,000 sq ft data centre, and adjacent eco-village.
The data centre is arranged in seven phases, delivering 700,000
sq ft of state of the art data facility. The site is serviced by
75MW of electricity, and is strategically located within one mile
of a fibre optic hub.
The adjacent power station is delivering the primary electricity
supply, and the waste heat is being used to provide the base
cooling load of some 42 MgW of refrigeration, via an absorption
cooling system.
The power station has two back-up connections to the national
grid, providing N+2 support.
The eco-village which has been designed on a traditional
basis around a square and cricket pitch, incorporating church,
local shop, post office, and pub will be connected by a district heating system utilising waste heat from the data centre and power station.
This will ensure a 100% Carbon Neutral heating system
With an estimated project cost in excess of £700m this will be
one of Europe's largest data facilities.
