| August 26, 2008 | 0 Comments

US data centre operator, Advanced Data Centres, claims to be the first company to achieve the highest rating under the US Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) program.

The facility will be built on a redeveloped airforce base. Achievements as part of the rating include the capture and reuse of 100% of the rainwater runoff, the use of natural air cooling for 75% of the time, the recycling of 95% of the materials in the refurbishment of the facility, the elimination of toxic chemicals during construction, and the use of daylight for lighting.
