This squeaky clean space on the 6th floor has everything but the computers. Note the absence of raised floors. In this facility, servers will be placed on concrete slabs. Air supply travels through the walls from the computer room air handler units that can be adjusted as necessary.

The 5th floor houses the data center's uninterruptable power supply systems and backup batteries. The UPS room itself is redundant, too. There are four of these UPS rooms.

The chiller plant on the 4th floor of the data center is comprised of condenser water pumps and risers that are responsible for maintaining the appropriate temperature in the data center. The ceilings in this area are 23 feet high. As the temperature cools down outside the building, the chillers can be dialed back.

The QTS Princeton Solar Array is a 14.1 Megawatt Photovoltaic System, one of the largest, privately owned, net metered photovoltaic systems in the Western Hemisphere. The Solar Array occupies approximately 50 acres of a 194 acre campus. The PV system contains over 57,000 solar modules, 24 power inverters and was constructed on a portion of the campus that was previously used for an agricultural purpose. The project site is surrounded on two sides by existing residential neighborhoods which resulted in the need to address both the visual and the physical impact of the extensive renewable energy facility on the adjacent community.

Groundbreaking for Apple's data center expansion in Reno.

The filters seem to go on forever.

Apple built a three of 100-acre solar arrays adjacent to the company's Maiden NC data center. Each solar field will produce 20-megawatts.

In August 2017, Apple announced plans to build a 400,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art data center in Waukee, Iowa, to better serve North American users of iMessage, Siri, the App Store, and other Apple services. Like all Apple data centers, the new facility will run entirely on renewable energy from day one.

The WindChill Module design uses fresh air to cool servers, cooling it using an adiabatic cooling system in which air passes through water flowing through evaporative cooling media. The design uses negative air pressure to guide air through the servers and into a contained hot aisle, preventing the mixing of hot and cold air.

In a gasketed plate and frame heat exchanger, the fluids run counter-currently through the heat exchanger. The hot liquid normally enters through one of the upper connections and leaves through the connection underneath. The cold liquid enters through one of the lower connections and leaves through the connection above.

As the fluids pass through the heat exchanger, heat is transferred from the hot media to the cold media.

The practice of "topping out" a new building can be traced to the ancient Scandinavian religious rite of placing a tree atop a new building to appease the tree-dwelling spirits displaced in its construction. Long an important component of timber frame building, it migrated initially to England and Northern Europe, thence to the Americas. [Wikipedia]
