SACRAMENTO, CA, Mar 24 (MARKET WIRE) --
RagingWire Enterprise Solutions, Inc., Northern California's premier
high-density colocation and hosting provider, has been awarded the
maximum incentive rebate of $150,000 from Sacramento Municipal Utility
District (SMUD). The rebate rewards RagingWire's energy savings achieved
through innovative building design and implementation of green
technologies. Some of the efforts include installing waterside
economizers, oversized cooling towers, variable speed pumps, and highly
efficient chillers. The result of this past year's efforts alone have
created additional energy savings of over 2,000,000 kWh of electricity
per year, which equates to reducing 1.6 million pounds of CO2 emissions,
or the equivalent of driving a small family car around the Earth over 100
times. These savings are incremental to RagingWire's already
environmentally friendly design.
Program Manager for SMUD's Savings By Design, Steve Oliver explains, "By
being a partner in SMUD's Saving by Design program, RagingWire implemented
energy efficiency measures that are good for our environment, good for
their business and will help SMUD achieve our ambitious energy reduction
goals."
RagingWire is one of SMUD's top 10 customers and the largest single
building customer. RagingWire has developed a strategic working
partnership with SMUD by incorporating proven energy saving technologies.
Moreover, industry estimates demonstrate that using outsourced data
centers is highly efficient, and can result in overall power reductions
of up to 50%.
"We are quite proud of this remarkable achievement," said George
Macricostas, CEO and Vice Chairman of RagingWire and a board member of the
Jane Goodall Institute. "Social and environmental responsibility is in
RagingWire's DNA. From the inception of our design, we knew that investing
up front in environmentally responsible technologies was the right thing
to do, and we have enjoyed those benefits for over eight years. It was
right not only for the long term operational efficiency of our business,
but more importantly it was the responsible decision for our community,
and for generations to come."
The energy savings achieved and the knowledge and experience gained by the
ongoing partnership with SMUD will be heavily called upon as RagingWire
expands operations to a new LEED certified 200,000 square foot data
center.
