Taking the next step in its environmental-sustainability efforts, Microsoft has contracted to buy wind power for its mega data center in Dublin.
Climate was a major reason Microsoft chose the Dublin location, where temperatures range between -5C and 27C. The upper end of the range also happens to be the current upper limit for inside air temperature in data centers specified by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers.
The 5.4MW data center (expandable to 22.2MW) uses free cooling nearly 100% of the time. Free cooling is supplemented by direct-expansion units on the roof when necessary.
