Air conditioning system:Eliminates the need for refrigerants by using 100% fresh, filtered, outdoor air. The system uses only a few hundred watts during cool weather by sucking in cold outside air and up to 600 watts during warm weather when rainwater is used to cool hot outside air.Saves emissions in 1 year:
Heat Island EffectSolar energy from the sun warms the earth and everything on it. This energy is absorbed by different materials to varying degrees. For example snow has a high reflectivity and absorbs little energy, at the opposite end soil has a low reflectivity, absorbing energy and retaining heat. The extent of reflectivity is known as albed an important concept in climatology. Mitigation of the Heat Island Effect
Painting the Data Centre white helps to reflect the solar energy and keeps the centre and surrounding air cooler. If all buildings were coated in a reflective material in 100 major urban areas, it would offset 44 metric gigatons of greenhouse gases, which is more than all the countries on Earth emit in a single year.

Cleaner AirWe value clean air and to make sure surrounding city air is clean we have chosen a backup generator that runs on propane gas. Propane gas is cleaner burning which prevents dirty air in our environment, compared to diesel gas which is found at most other hosting companies. AISO.net cleaner airNormal data centers use diesel generators to provide backup power. Diesel soot, or diesel particulate, is the number one airborne carcinogen in California. A typical standby diesel generator produces 25-30 pounds of nitrogen oxides (NOx) per megawatt hour of power generated, 50 to 60 times the NOx pollution produced per megawatt hour by the typical mix of California gas-fired power plants.
Our propane generators:eliminates large amounts of carbon dioxide, and produces no sulfur dioxide or particulates which is the primary causes of the greenhouse effect and acid rain. In fact, propane also meets the standards set by the federal Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) for reducing acid rain and controlling air pollution in urban areas. The CAAA heralds propane as one of the solutions to a cleaner, healthier environment. And since propane vaporizes rapidly, it won’t contaminate soil or groundwater.InternetMost data centers when built have to get the streets, sidewalks and land around were they are located dug up to install their conductivity to the Internet. This is not the most environmentally friendly thing to do. To prevent us from doing that we have employed wireless Internet which uses the air instead of the ground for our Internet conductivity. Wireless internet backbonesThe Datacentre uses the air to provide Internet conductivity and uses existing wireless internet towers, some of which are solar powered. There are three separate Internet backbones which are carrier grade wireless FCC Licensed links, similar to the wireless links most telephone and government agency's use. Each wireless dish uses a different mount peak and ISP POP's/Nodes to provide redundancy in case of any failures.
