06 Marzo 2017 - 6:00AM
DuPont Fabros Technology Inc. (NYSE:DFT), a leading owner,
developer, operator and manager of enterprise-class,
carrier-neutral, large scale, multi-tenant wholesale data centers,
today affirmed its commitment to sustainability initiatives
designed to benefit customers, the community and the greater
environment.
“Since our beginning, DFT has sought to design,
build and operate energy efficient data centers,” said Chris
Eldredge, president and CEO. “Over the years, we have continued to
build out our sustainability program based on customer feedback, as
well as our commitment to be a good corporate citizen. Our program
becomes more robust with each new data center design and each new
data center we build. DFT’s commitment is to utilize 100% renewable
energy in the future, which will benefit not only our customers,
but also the communities we work and live in.”
“Our primary sustainability objectives are to
improve the overall efficiency of our data centers while reducing
wasted energy,” explained Chris Sweet, manager of EHS &
sustainability. “We continue to make green infrastructure
investments in our new developments that improve the customer
experience without sacrificing the good of the environment. We take
every measure to lessen the environmental impact of our facilities
with the belief that working with other industries and communities,
we can make a big difference.”
Examples of DFT’s sustainability program
include:
- Data centers designed and built to achieve LEED credentials and
certifications
- Data centers designed and built to have an industry-leading
power usage effectiveness (PUE)
- Data centers that use reclaimed water, where available, instead
of potable water for cooling
- Data centers that take advantage of free cooling conditions
using water-side economization plants (plate and frame heat
exchangers) with chiller assist
- The use of medium voltage (MV) electrical distribution
- The use of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) controls on
diesel engines to reduce the emission of oxides of nitrogen
(NOx)
- The use of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD), reducing the
production of sulfur oxides emissions
- The use of diesel oxidation catalyst controls on diesel engines
to minimize carbon monoxide emissions
- The use of occupancy sensor controlled, energy reducing LED
lighting
- Sourcing reliable, cost effective energy from a diverse array
of traditional and renewable sources, offering customers access to
clean energy
- Installing reflective white-colored roof membranes to increase
solar reflectance and thermal emittance
- Installing waterless urinals in restroom facilities
- Providing recycling for cardboard and pallet waste.
“As one of the biggest data center providers in
Northern Virginia, DFT’s partnership with Loudoun County is
critical to maintaining a county that complies with the highest
environmental regulations,” said Buddy Rizer, executive director
Loudoun County, Virginia Economic Development. “DFT plays a
significant role in the economic development of Loudoun while
contributing to the greater good of a green community.”
