  • CyrusOne Zero Water Consumption Cooling: No water is consumed to cool this Dallas data center facility (such as water towers or evaporative cooling).  Minimal amounts of water are used for humidification and facility maintenance. This facility uses highly efficient chillers, variable frequency drives, and energy-efficient CRAH units to achieve high efficiency air-cooled chilling. An average US data center of the same size typically consumes over 9 million gallons of water per month for cooling.
  • Regional Water Stress:  The Carrollton area currently faces extremely high water stress, which is projected to improve slightly in the future but will remain high. Unlike many other data centers, CyrusOne’s Dallas data center in Carrollton does not use water for cooling and is therefore insulated from this regional water risk, both current and future.

  • Regional Grid Greenhouse Gases: How much greenhouse gas does this facility’s local electrical grid emit while generating electricity?  (Useful for Location-based greenhouse gas reporting)
Greenhouse Gases 2004 2007 2012 2016 2018
MTCO2/MWh 0.644 0.568 0.518 0.458 0.423
  • The carbon-intensity of the grid has improved about 2.3% points per year over the last 14 years of published data. Reported by the US EPA eGRID for the ERCOT subregion (ERCT).
  • Regional Grid Renewables: What percentage of this facility’s local electrical grid is from renewable sources (wind, solar, biomass, hydro, and geothermal)?
Grid Renewables 2004 2007 2012 2016 2018
Percent from renewable sources 1.3% 2.7% 8.6% 14.5% 18.2%

This has been increasing about 1.2% points per year over the last 14 years of published data.  Based on US EPA eGRID data for the ERCOT subregion (ERCT).
