I’ve written about BLACKIRON Data in the past and I’ve got some more news from them. They announced that their Toronto DC3 facility has been award LEED Silver Certification by the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC). Here’s why this is important from their press release:
LEED® is a third-party certification program and an internationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. As an internationally recognized mark of excellence, LEED® provides building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’ performance.
Here’s some more from Ron Ethier who is their Vice President Data Centres and Operations:
“One of our top objectives in building this facility was to make it eco-friendly,” said Ron Ethier, Vice President Data Centres and Operations, BLACKIRON Data. “Throughout the design and construction process, the BLACKIRON team considered how to make every facet of the data centre as environmentally responsible as we could. We are incredibly proud to have our Toronto DC3 data centre achieve LEED® Silver certification; the result of our team’s hard work and innovation.”
Seeing datacenters have typically not been environmentally friendly places, it’s really good to see that someone is stepping up to the plate to make a difference in this regard. This is another reason why I’ll be keeping my eye on this Canadian company who is clearly making an impact in the marketplace.
