Cooling, Water & Electricity

How this project is powered, cooled, and connected to local water and wastewater systems. Figures are drawn from public records and developer disclosures.

IT Cooling & Heat Rejection

Data centers remove heat in two stages: first from the servers (IT cooling), then from the building to the outdoors (heat rejection). The methods chosen drive water use, energy overhead, and neighborhood noise.

Water Source & Demand

Data centers use water mainly for evaporative cooling and humidification. The source, quality, and use of reclaimed water determine the impact on local supply and aquatic systems.
