Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council, GB installed fresh-air cooling to reduce council emissions

Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council, GB Fresh-Air Cooling

The Civic Offices use a fresh-air cooling system to maintain a server room temperature of 20 degrees Celsius. Outside air cools IT equipment at external temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius and below. An evaporative cooling process keeps servers from overheating above 30 degrees. The system uses enough power for a fan that draws outside air into the room. Council officials purchased the system to reduce energy costs by £9,500 per year and work toward carbon neutrality by 2030.
