Many of today’s Data Centers are running into data center issues regarding power availability, space limitations and data center reliability. This situation accentuates the need to utilize natural resources and cut down on the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) footprint on the world as an organization. This project designed and implement green initiatives to not only decrease United Technologies carbon footprint on the earth, but to also provide a Tier 3 plus data center. Improved technical performance included elimination of all single point failures and installation of full redundancy, ensuring ultra-high availability, moving from Tier 1 to Tier 3 plus. The team installed 18 PureComfort micro-turbines as well as a Combined heat and Power (CHP) waste heat utilization system, reducing the CO2 by 1,090 tons and Nox by 6.4 tons annually.
