Project Energos
Location-Reno,NV,USA
Project Energos is the first zero-net/carbon data center designed.
This Data Center will be the first large scale 100% carbon emission free Data Center via on site power within the United States.Energos REno will be the first data center campus to have on-site behind-the-meter renewable energy generation/storage,capable of back-up primary power for times where is no sun,wind,or utility.100% reliability built to goverment standards with commercial flexibility.
The data center folded concrete facade(AAC) employes technology in low-carbon concrete by reducing the cement required for concrete and replacing it with another binder.The cementitious elemnt of concrete is responsabile on reducing the majority of embodied carbon in the concrete.This means it is worth concentrating on reducingor replacing the cement required for the concrete.This provides a stronger concrete for the same quantity of cement.The data center will also employ aerated concrete which involves the addition of foaming agent such as aluminium powder to a mixture of cement,siliceous-based fine aggregate and water,to react with the lime in cement and create expansive reactions due to the formation of hydrogen gas,therby producing a lightweight porous material.
