LinkedIn, a Microsoft subsidiary, exemplified intelligent site selection combined with engineering excellence with this data centre in Oregon. The Pacific Northwest’ s cool climate enables free cooling for approximately 95 % of annual hours, dramatically reducing mechanical cooling requirements. Waterside economisers leverage ambient conditions without compressor operation, achieving a 1.06 PUE amongst North America’ s most efficient enterprise facilities. Minimal evaporative cooling dependency keeps water consumption well below industry averages, setting a corporate disclosure standard that influenced Microsoft’ s subsequent data centre strategy.
