Our data center resides in a building that's received one of the highest environmental award in Canada.
Innovation Place has received the prestigious Go Green Plus certification for the Concourse building, one of only three buildings in the entire province to achieve this level of certification.

One of the mandates of the research park we reside in is sustainable building design and operation.
We use a closed-loop water-based cooling system that continually recycles and removes excess heat through a heat exchange, which is partially utilized to heat our office.
In the Winter, the natural Canadian arctic air augments our cooling to reduce electrical consumption.

To conserve energy we only utilize low voltage processors in our servers and computers, and our generator operates on cleaner natural gas, which is better for the environment.
Our office has 300° of polarized windows that we use for indirect and natural lighting 365 days a year. Long before compact fluorescent bulbs became popular, these were standard with us. |
