Energy-efficient KyotoCooling at Bell Canada
The Uptime Institute recently awarded Bell and its partner Urbacon Architecture the 2012 Green Enterprise IT Award for Facility Design and Innovation. The Uptime Institute is an independent international research, education and consulting organization focused on the data centre industry.
Uptime Institute Green Enterprise IT awards are presented to organizations that significantly improve energy productivity and resource use in the IT sector. Bell won this award for the sustainable green building and development practices used in constructing its new Ottawa region data centre.
The Ottawa region data centre‘s cutting-edge design combines green architectural approaches with energy-efficient operational features, resulting in an industry-leading power usage effectiveness (PUE) rating of 1.26 (including office and meeting rooms). The data centre’s energy efficiency will cut typical carbon dioxide emissions by 12,000 tons, and total annual power savings are estimated at 17 million kilowatt hours – enough to power more than 1,400 homes. Built to meet LEED Gold status for design and construction, the new Bell data centre is also Tier III certified by the Uptime Institute for high availability and resiliency.
Bell Canada was named greenest company in Canada and 13th in the world by Newsweek. Bell placed 13th in the list of the World‘s Greenest Companies, which also included major international brands like IBM, BT Group (British Telecom), SAP and Nokia.

“The premise underlying this is that a ratified and optimized design with controls can achieve levels of quality control and repeatability in addition to the optimization that comes from years of continuous improvement as a complete product solution development and research effort.” Bob Mobach from Green Building Council as peer- reviewed by a USGBC-selected team of technical experts.
Energy-efficient KyotoCooling at BendBroadBand data center
In June, BendBroadBand Vault received word that it had been awarded the Uptime Institute’s Tier III Certification of Constructed Facility. This also marked the second certification for the Vault by the Uptime Institute, with the Tier III Design Certification being awarded in late March.
“On October 13th, the Vault was presented with an Innovation Award by the Environmental Center of Bend as part of the 2011 Sustainability Awards. Later in the month, the Vault was notified it had officially achieved LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) Gold status under the LEED 2009 Building Design and Construction (LEED BD+C) rating system. This was a monumental achievement and one that we had been working toward since the initial concept stage of the facility. Achieving LEED Gold status put the Vault in the upper echelon of data centers and one of only five data centers in the world to attain this level.”
“While LEED Certification is an indicator of a company’s environmental commitment, the bigger concern for the data center owner/operator is the energy consumption. Leonard Weitman explains BendBroadband’s efficiency initiative: “Data centers traditionally haven’t been very energy efficient. In fact, they’ve probably rightfully been tagged energy hogs. It looks like we’re going to run around 1.2 overall.”

“The Helena SMDC is a capstone project for the State of Montana. I’m proud of the intellectual capital being invested in making the data centers and the services we house there the best they can be. If people want to come to Montana to look at it, we‘re open for it,” Dick Clark, the state’s CIO. “We felt that it was our responsibility as a governmental agency to lead by example and push the envelope. We have done that here.” Joe Triem, Planning Manager, State of Montana Architecture &
Engineering Division We’re running at a 1.08 PUE,” said Boyer. “In the old data center we were almost at 3.” Mike Boyer, Enterprise System Project Manager, State Information Technology Services Division (SITSD).
Energy-efficient KyotoCooling at State of Montana data center
Finding an innovative and low-cost cooling solution was a top-level priority for Montana’s data center from the start. Beyond meeting the government’s initiative of reducing energy consumption in its buildings by 20 percent, this was a chance to break new ground and set an example for other government buildings to follow.
Exploring possibilities that reached beyond standard base cases and scenarios, Montana’s data center design team did their due diligence on the varying energy costs, savings and lifecycles of proven cooling solutions, as well as new ideas like KyotoCooling. With this information in hand the design team called upon Montana’s State Buildings Energy Conservation Program (SBECP) for additional funds. By financing energy improvement projects for state owned buildings the SBECP chooses projects to fund and then invests the savings from those projects into future energy upgrades.

Energy-efficient KyotoCooling at Streetsville data center Streetsville
Streetsville data center in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, will be the companies first data center to use a “Kyoto Wheel” heat exchanger for its primary cooling. The technology reduces the need for mechanical cooling by transferring heat to the outside air stream through a heat wheel heat exchanger.
“One of our priorities is to reduce the energy used by our network of data centers, including more than 100 client-serving (or
“trade”) data centers worldwide and six internal data centers in the United States. Growing customer demand for data services managed by our trade data centers makes building, retrofitting, and operating highly energy-efficient data centers and
consolidating existing facilities all the more important, as typical data centers consume 20 to 40 times as much energy per square meter as offices.”
Constructed by Turner Construction a leading international Mission Critical Acclaimed Constructor the Facility is the Largest Trade Data Center implementation of KyotoCooling in North America. Streetsville enjoys full Kyoto Controls integration into their Data Center Management Center. The KyotoCooling units support full 30kva/cabinet load density.
