USGCB
Awards T5's Largest Data Center Facility Green Building
Certification.
Dallas,
TX, USA (July 24, 2013) -- T5
Data Centers' facility T5@Dallas has been granted
LEED® Silver certification by the U.S. Green Building Council
(USGBC). T5 Data Centers, innovators in providing state-of-the-art,
customizable and highly reliable computing support environments for
any enterprise, is committed to developing and maintaining
environmentally friendly data centers, and LEED Silver certification
of T5@Dallas is the latest milestone in the company’s efforts to
have all its data centers LEED certified.
Located
in the Legacy Business Park in Plano, Texas, T5@Dallas is T5's
largest data center project to date. The T5@Dallas data center is a
purpose-built, fully equipped "wholesale" data center in a
150,000-square-foot building with 129,000 square feet of raised floor
on a 20-acre site. As part of the energy-saving construction required
for LEED Silver certification, the building has been designed to
optimal power usage effectiveness (PUE), and to economize on energy,
water, and resource consumption. The building is also built using
sustainable materials. When it's complete following the second
construction phase, the T5@Dallas data center will have 20.5 MWs of
critical power for mission-critical operations in a UCGBC-certified
green facility.
"We
consider LEED certification to be good for business as well as the
environment," said Robbie Sovie, LEED AP, Vice President -
Development for T5 Data Centers. "Building green data centers
not only makes us good environmental neighbors, it helps our
customers save because we also deliver the most resource efficient
solution possible - it's good for the environment and good for our
tenants."
T5's
Data Center's T5@Atlanta facility also is LEED Silver certified, and
T5 anticipates its T5@LA, T5@Kings Mountain, T5@Portland, and
T5@Colorado Springs projects also will be LEED certified.
LEED
is the foremost program for the design, construction, and operation
of green buildings. More than 44,000 projects are currently
participating in the commercial and institutional LEED rating
systems, which represents more than 8 billion square feet of
construction space spanning the 50 United States and 120 countries.
