• Cabinet and cage security options include individual locks and biometric scanners.

• 20 minute drive to Chicago O’Hare Airport
• 10 National Chain Hotels within one mile
• 20 miles west of the heart of downtown Chicago.

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

• 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)

The carbon-intensity of the grid has improved about 1.8% points per year over the last 14 years of published data.  Reported by the US EPA eGRID for the RFC West subregion (RFCW).

• 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 0.3% points per year over the last 14 years of published data.  Based on US EPA eGRID data for the RFC West subregion (RFCW).
