ABOUT IT
Some of Scala Data Centers' initiatives to optimize the use of natural resources and reduce energy waste in data centers include:
1- Improved Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE): reduction of energy losses and optimization of cooling systems, reducing overall energy consumption;
2- Implementation of Air-Cooled Chillers: implementation of air-cooled chillers in the new data centers, resulting in ZERO Water Use Effectiveness (WUE) for cooling system operations;
3- Implementation of advanced technologies: refrigeration equipment that makes it possible to implement free cooling systems and chillers with an adiabatic solution, using ambient air to reduce the need for traditional refrigeration systems, resulting in lower energy consumption.
Results and Objectives
1- Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE): achieve and maintain a PUE below 1.40 in all data centers;
2- Cooling Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE): keeping the cooling WUE equal to 0, ensuring that the use of water for cooling purposes is highly efficient and sustainable;
3- Carbon neutrality: maintaining carbon neutrality not only in direct operations (Scope 1), but also in indirect operations related to electricity and other energy sources (Scope 2) and in supply chains and transportation (Scope 3).
