World’s First LEED Platinum Data Center Opens in Germany
Germany recently joined the ranks of the green elite with the completion of Citigroup’s stunning new Data Center in Frankfurt.
Designed by leading sustainable architecture and engineering firm Arup Associates, the 230,000-square-foot facility’s efficient use of energy and resource-conserving design have made it the first data center in the world to achieve LEED Platinum!
That’s no small task considering the energy required to keep stacks of servers running smoothly in a climate-controlled environment.
