We thought you might be interested to know that City Lifeline is one of the most environmentally conscious and sustainable data centres in London. We purchase only 100% renewable electricity, use the maximum possible bio mix in our diesel fuel and have a continuous improvement policy that is dedicated to energy efficiency.
Renewable electricity - Our electricity comes from certified wind, hydro, solar and biomass sources, with no fossil fuels such as oil, gas or coal being used. It’s not the cheapest option, but it is the most socially and environmentally responsible. And as a result, City Lifeline has been exempted from the Climate Change Levy by the government!
Diesel generators - The diesel fuel we use for our new backup generators is a bio/petroleum hydrocarbon mix, and is the maximum bio level consistent with reliability. The generators are optimised for the very low pollution levels required in central London, and our fuel is regularly clean-cycled to ensure its purity.
Reducing our PUE - Energy efficiency is measured by PUE (Power Utilisation Efficiency) which is the ratio of the energy supplied to the facility and the energy supplied to the equipment. We have one of the lowest PUEs of any central London data centre, one of the lowest carbon footprints and a continuous programme of on-going improvement.
Green cooling - After the equipment itself, cooling is the next major consumer of energy within a data centre. Our cooling systems optimise the balance between low energy consumption and noise in an urban area. We have a continuous process of older units being cycled out and replaced with newer, more energy efficient ones - and all new cooling designs are optimised using Computerised Fluid Dynamics.
We do everything possible to be London’s greenest data centre. So by using City Lifeline’s 100% green colocation services, you can achieve a reduced carbon footprint for your IT and communications operations. Helping you to demonstrate a strong and ongoing commitment to corporate citizenship and environmental sensitivity to your customers!
