The Fannie Mae Data Center project consists of a 120,000 square foot, four-floor office building and a 130,000 square foot data center. The Data Center’s 70,000 square feet central plant supports the 60,000 square feet of raised floor with up to 125 watts/sf. The infrastructure includes six (6) 2,000 KW engine generators, six (6) 775 ton centrifugal chillers, sixteen (16) 750 kva UPS Modules, and a 175,000 gallon thermal storage tank. The office building has a full basement to be used as a disaster recovery center.
The Fannie Mae Data Center is also the first LEED Certified Data Center in the World. This was a unique challenge given the inherent inefficiencies and redundancies of the MEP systems in a data center. The data center features many sustainable features that minimize disturbance to the site, conserve water and energy, and reduce the use of new materials. Over 20 percent of the materials used on the project were manufactured regionally, and nearly 60 percent of all wood products used on project were from FSC certified sources. To improve the indoor environmental quality for building occupants, over 90 percent of critical visual task areas have direct access to views of the outdoors. During construction, over 80 percent of the project's construction waste was diverted from landfills.
Furthermore, Fannie Mae purchased renewable energy credits to provide 100% of the buildings regulated load for a period of two years. In addition, to improve the indoor air quality after building occupancy, Fannie Mae implemented "Green" Houskeeping services for their building.
