The right environment supports energy efficiency

We reliably see to the energy efficiency of both new data centers and data centers requiring renovation or expansion. We ensure the data center’s energy supply and optimised energy consumption. We find the solutions that put the waste heat produced by the data center to use in the district heating network, for instance. This way, we ensure that the carbon footprint of the data center remains small.

Our advanced reporting tools have also been harnessed for monitoring energy use. If necessary, we can integrate with other systems and combine different sources of data to support operations.

Environmentally friendly cooling for a supercomputer

Granlund has designed the data center for the European supercomputer in Kajaani, Finland. The data center operations are carbon neutral – the carbon footprint may even be negative.

Granlund’s competence in quantum computer projects

We will help implement safe research and assembly spaces for quantum computers still under development. In addition to HVAC technology and refrigeration technology, we take care of ensuring electrical systems. Finally, our construction management and supervision experts will make sure that everyone at the site acts correctly. This situation is new for most subcontractors as well, after all.

Peace of mind with a reliable data center

The reliability of a data center is critical, and MEP design is actually in a central role. MEP systems actually make 70 % of the whole cost of the project. MEP includes essential areas of functional data centers like HVAC, electrical, automation , fire safety and security design.

We can also help our clients with digital maintenance processes. Our property management software Granlund Manager continuously makes necessary information available to the right people. We can monitor and control the capacity of the data center, for example, in real time.
