• Reinforced precast concrete structure surrounding critical Data Halls
• On-site security guards
• Key card and biometric access control, secure access turnstile, surveillance cameras

• 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 CRAH 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 Council Bluffs area currently faces low water stress, this is projected to increase in the future. Unlike many other data centers, CyrusOne’s Council Bluffs facility will not use water for cooling and will therefore be 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 2.7% points per year over the last 14 years of published data.  Reported by the US EPA eGRID MRO West subregion (MROW).

• 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 1.9% points per year over the last 14 years of published data.  Based on US EPA eGRID MRO West subregion (MROW).
