MEGAONE worked with a number of well established solutions partner to bring an extra dimension to our product offerings. Together we addresses many issues that were either neglected or were passed on as non critical and today energy saving via lighting control and thermal management becomes the top priority in many organizations and their data centers.

The key to office efficiency lies in cost cutting measures and improving productivity - the design of a ecological workspace required to achieve our goals requires an understanding of the role of light. Lighting consumes energy and enhances the user's performance and can considerably influences the room design – and its use in the building. MEGAONE work with reliable solutions partner to bring a complete range of energy saving LED products ranging from solar powered road lamps to energy saving MR16 downlights. The benefits of LED Luminaires are numerous

LEED's Draft Requirements for DATA CENTRE
In the draft requirements NC 2.2 for LEED, new credit are awarded for

Credit 5.3   Site Development, Impacts to Local Infrastructure (new credit)

ASSESS the site's ENERGY USAGE and Green House Gas Emmissions (GHG) and justify its impact to local infrastructure and the environment, based upon total source GHG emissions from energy generation and transmission. 

Potential Technologies & Strategies

Consider sites with higher percentages of energy generated from renewable sources, including solar and wind power; hydroelectric; and geo-thermal. 

Water Efficiency  Credit 3.3:   Water Use Reduction: 20% or Greater Reduction (new credit)

Calculate and document baseline of annual total building water usage including evaporated cooling system water usage, including cooling tower blow down, if utilized in calculations of wastewater and potable water demand for credit. 

% Reduction                                      Water Efficiency Points
20%                                                                 2
30%                                                                 4
40%                                                                 6

Recommended Technologies & Strategies
Consider equipping cooling tower(s) with drift eliminators.  Consider airside free cooling technologies which reduce water consumption where climatic conditions are favorable.  Design the central water cooling system to use less water than the standard design by selection and integration of the equipment, controls and piping.

Harvesting solar energy requires the use of Solar Panels - which is essentially arrays of Photovotaic cells. Photovotaics cells are made of semi-conducting materials and can convert sunlight directly into electricity. When sunlight is absorbed by the solar cells, the electrons in the semi-conducter are freed from their atoms and flow through the material to produce electricity. This process is also known as photovoltaic (PV) effect.

EA Credit 3:  On-site Renewable Energy (Modification of the existing LEED credit)

Requirements
Use on-site renewable energy systems to offset building energy cost. Calculate project performance by expressing the energy produced by the renewable systems as a percentage of the average peak power (kW) of the data center using the table below to determine the number of points achieved.  
% Renewable                                     Energy Points
2.5%                                                                2
5.0%                                                                4
7.5%                                                                6
12.5%                                                              8
15.0%                                                              10
20.0%                                                              12
Recommended Strategies
Assess the project for non-polluting and renewable energy potential including solar, wind, geothermal, low-impact hydro, bio-mass and bio-gas strategies.

Together with GP SOLAR, MEGAIO provides a complete range of solar panel solutions that can fulfill a data center's need and requirements for LEED. Find out more.

Data centers are designed to house DATA processing and communicatioins equipment and a much smaller number of building occupants per square foot compared to other commercial spaces. As such alot of heat is generated by the equipments and there is a critical need to reduce the energy usage as well as the amount of water use to cool the equipments. In meeting the proposed draft on LEED for DATA centre, various strategy for achieving Water Efficiency  Credit 3.3:   Water Use Reduction: 20% or Greater Reduction (new credit) are as follows;

Recommended Technologies & Strategies
1) Consider airside free cooling technologies which reduce water consumption where climatic conditions are favorable. 

MEGAIO'S Solution Partner - TAIRONE TAIWAN, provides an innovative cooling solution that utilises the ambient temperature of the environment to provide cooling for cabinets, radio cell sites and data center - find out here.

2) Design the central water cooling system to use less water than the standard design.

MEGAIO'S Solution Partner - IEP MALAYSIA, provides an precision cooling system that can effectively cool equipment racks down locally and thereby reducing the need for expensive general cooling- find out here.
