• Acreage for the site: 14.9 Acres
•  Gross Building Area: 703,450 total sq. ft.
• Number of stories: 4
• Total MW: 67.5 MW IT
• Number of Data Halls: 11
• Total Data Hall Area (including Mech Galleries): 375,800 sq. ft.
• Total Data Hall Area (without Mech Galleries): 288,900 sq. ft.

• CALGreen: This building meets or exceeds all CA Title 24 energy efficiency standards.   CALGreen is the first-in-the-nation California green building standards code, established for cost-effective reductions of greenhouse gases (GHG).

• CyrusOne Zero Water Consumption Cooling: No water is consumed to cool this facility (such as water towers or evaporative cooling).  Minimal amounts of water are used for humidification and facility maintenance. This facility uses highly efficient chillers, variable frequency drives, and energy-efficient fan wall CRAH units to achieve high efficiency air-cooled chilling.  Based on a U.S. Dept of Energy estimate, an average U.S. data center of the same capacity typically consumes over 11 million gallons of water per month for cooling.

• Regional Water Risk: The Santa Clara area faces a high risk of water supply disruption, which is expected to remain high in the future.  Unlike many other data centers, CyrusOne’s Santa Clara campus does not use water for cooling and is therefore insulated from regional water risk, both current and future.

• Regional Grid Greenhouse Gasses: How much greenhouse gas does this facility’s local electrical grid emit while generating electricity?  (Useful for Location-based greenhouse gas reporting)

The carbon-intensity of the grid has improved about 2.9% points per year over the last 14 years of published data.  Reported by the US EPA eGRID for the WECC California subregion (CAMX).

• Regional Grid Renewables: What percentage of this facility’s local electrical grid is from renewable sources (wind, solar, biomass, hydro, and geothermal)?

This has been increasing about 1% points per year over the last 14 years of published data.  Based on US EPA eGRID data for the WECC California subregion (CAMX).
