The corporate facility includes: Eight high-speed passenger elevators, separate freight elevator, 3,500 car parking garage, state-of-the-art electrical capacity, completely ADA accessible, multi-zoned air conditioning and heating systems, and a state-of-the-art energy management system.
Systems features include the following:
- Nominal three, 150 ton condenser water system (both buildings) with packaged air conditioner units on the floor.
- Two 400 ton air-cooled chillers arranged for N + 1 redundant operation for data center cooling.
- Two 2,500 KVA main-tie-main service entrance substations.
- Dual electric utility service to the site with automatic transfer.
- Digital control logic for utility and EG paralleling for closed transition operation.
- Four 1,500 KW diesel engine-generators arranged for N + 1 redundant operation for standby power to the entire facility.
- Two separate UPS systems with four 375 KVA/300 KW modules each for 2N redundant operation for UPS power to the data center.
