Data Center | Quincy, WA

Moffitt Corporation was approached by a local engineer and a local contractor to ventilate a new data center in Quincy, Washington. Data centers hold dozens, if not hundreds of computer servers. These systems run around the clock and subsequently produce a lot of heat. Without proper cooling the computers would quickly overheat and breakdown.

Moffitt Corporation was approached by a local engineer and a local contractor to ventilate a new data center in Quincy, Washington. Data centers hold dozens, if not hundreds of computer servers. Data centers can sometimes be modular buildings, especially if they need to be portable. This is explained further on www.bmarkostructures.com if you need more help understanding modular data centers. This data center was a permanent building though. It is full of computer servers and these systems run around the clock, subsequently producing a lot of heat. Without proper cooling the computers would quickly overheat and breakdown.

Natural ventilation is a good method for cooling a space like this. A natural ventilator gives all of that heat produced an organic evacuation point leaving the interior cooler.

The Labyrinth natural ventilator was selected for this project. Its high air-flow coefficient and lightweight design made it the perfect fit for the building. As the Labyrinth results in a minimal impact on the roof structure, the building requires no support modifications.
