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 efficiency chillers, variable frequency drives, and energy-efficient CRAH units to achieve high-efficiency air-cooled chilling. An average US data center of the same size typically consumes over 300 thousand gallons of water per month for cooling.
Regional Water Stress: While the Norwalk area currently faces low water stress, this is projected to increase dramatically in the next decade. Unlike many other data centers, CyrusOne’s Norwalk facility does not use water for cooling and is therefore insulated from this regional water risk, both current and future.

Water Risk and Use	Now	2030 Projection	2040 Projection
Regional Water Stress	Low	Extremely High	Extremely High
CyrusOne Water Use	Zero Consumption	Zero Consumption	Zero Consumption

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

Greenhouse Gases	2004	2007	2012	2016	2018
MTCO2/MWh	0.412	0.376	0.289	0.253	0.237

The carbon-intensity of the grid has improved about 3.3% points per year over the last 14 years of published data. Reported by the US EPA eGRID for the NPCC New England subregion (NEWE).

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

Grid Renewables	2004	2007	2012	2016	2018
Percent from renewable sources	10.8%	10.4%	13.0%	16.7%	18.9%

This has been increasing about 0.5% points per year over the last 14 years of published data. Based on US EPA eGRID data for the NPCC New England subregion (NEWE).
