Rethinking data center design for Singapore

What this post added

This post details the design and construction of Meta's first custom-built data center in Asia, located in Singapore. Key technical contributions include: a vertical, 11-story building design to minimize land footprint in a dense urban environment; integration of 100% renewable energy sources, including rooftop solar arrays; and the implementation of the novel StatePoint Liquid Cooling (SPLC) system, developed with Nortek Air Solutions, which uses indirect evaporative cooling to reduce water and power consumption by over 20% in hot, humid climates. The design targets an annual PUE of 1.19, significantly lower than the regional average.
