As a part of Equinix's expansion at its SV2 center, the company implemented a variety of efficient procedures, such as installing air-side economizers that use the outside air to provide “free cooling” and drastically reduce the amount of mechanically produced cold air needed for the center. This system has resulted in energy savings of more than 4,000,000 kWh and $300,000 per year. Equinix also installed variable frequency drive (VFD) fans that allow for greater efficiency by operating at reduced fan speeds when there is a lower demand for air distribution. This upgrade has resulted in annual savings for more than $51,000 in power consumption. Finally, the project included the installation of LED light fixtures and occupancy sensors that will provide annual energy savings of 100,000 kWh.
