I heard one of the big reasons they decided buffalo was due too our cold weather, which can be pumped in and used directly for cooling. Hopefully this will spring up some more data centers. ---

:tup: we are getting close. The buildings are mostly up, ponds dug, utilities in. You should see the electrical utilities that are in there :eek: Edit: Negative on the cooling. The building has a very extensive HVAC setup to control all that. ---

Looks like they are using outside cooling…it makes sense [http://www.ditii.com/2009/07/03/yahoos-niagara-falls-powered-data-center-in-buffalo-lockport-ny/](http://www.ditii.com/2009/07/03/yahoos-niagara-falls-powered-data-center-in-buffalo-lockport-ny/) > [@Official Yahoo Blogs](#): > > For data center geeks, we expect our Buffalo Lockport, NY, data center design will have an annualized average PUE (power usage effectiveness) of 1.1 or better. **To achieve that, we’ve come up with a unique building design that we call the Yahoo! Computing Coop (because it looks like something chickens live in), which is angled to take advantage of Buffalo’s microclimate, using 100% outside air to cool the servers.** ---

Yea? Humidity, containment’s, those 3-4 months a year its actually warm here… I would love to see how they plan on cooling high density server racks with just outside air in June, July, August ---

Well I’m sure they have HVAC systems in place also. But it would be stupid IMO not to pull air from the outside. ---

uh… everything uses 100% outside air to cool things… How else would HVAC heat exchangers work… I have not seen any that use water. edit: if they do use outside air somehow, they will have to filter the shit out of it 1st. ---

I helped build a datacenter about a year ago and we researched multiple cooling methods… You can’t just pull outside winter air in to cool a data center… [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/yahoo-started-recruiting/77342.md?page=2)
