Syracuse University is launching a new Green Data Center, one of the world’s greenest computer centers in operation today.

GEM and BHP Energy designed and built the energy center that serves the world-class computer data center. When it becomes fully operational in January, the $12.4 million, 12,000-square-foot facility at Syracuse University is expected to use 50 percent less energy than a typical data center. Video coverage of the project can be found below:

A recent energy retrofit project performed by GEM Energy Management in a 15 year old commercial office building yielded an 18.1% savings in annual electric costs. A similar energy retrofit project in an 18 year old industrial facility yielded 23.1% savings in annual natural gas and electricity costs.

Both projects had simple paybacks that were less than 2.5 years.

GEM To Build One of World’s Greenest Data Centers.

adesmidt — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 15:32:25 +0000

Rudolph/Libbe Companies and its subsidiaries, BHP Energy and GEM Inc., are building one of the world’s most energy-efficient computer data centers for Syracuse University. The data center is expected to use 50 percent less energy than a typical data center today, making it one of the “greenest” computer centers in operation.The system includes 12 microturbines that run on natural gas and produce 65 kilowatts each. The center will make its own heat and air conditioning. Waste heat will be used to make cold water to cool the computers. During winter, waste heat will be used to make hot water for an adjacent building. The on-site electrical tri-generation system will allow the data center to operate completely off-grid.BHP is an authorized distributor of Capstone Turbine power generation systems. Capstone Turbines are compact, affordable energy systems that reduce energy costs while helping to protect the environment with near-zero emissions.

The data center is expected to be completed by the end of 2009.
