Best Project: Government/Public Building -- Merit Award

American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) -- Technology Award, Second Place – Non-Institutional Buildings, 2008

由于目标是实现全美国能源供应的可持续性,这其中包括对未来供求系统的研究、开发和对兆瓦级输电和配电组建的测试,该能源系统集成设施(ESIF)的规划必须整合清洁和可持续能源资源和相关管理;该设施必须以身作则。

Energy Systems Integration Facility

ESIF是美国国内第一家此类设施,它拥有14个高度复杂的实验室,可容纳200名科学家和工程师,这些实验室包括超净高测试场地和世界上最强大的致力于能效和可再生能源的数据计算中心。

Energy Systems Integration Facility

尽管这里的科研需要耗费大量原生能源,ESIF的建筑却实现了超绿色工作场所,它采用最有效的技术(包括数据计算)、回收废热用于加热、地板下空气流通以及其他冷却和通风策略。ESIF被《研究与开发杂志》评为2014年年度实验室。

Energy Systems Integration Facility

“目前,公共或私营部门没有类似于ESIF的集成系统和组件测试能力,这表明国家显然需要这一水平的研究和测试。

NREL ESIF Supercomputer Facility

To support the data analysis required by the various research experiments performed at the ESIF, the facility houses one of the premier data centers in the world. Taking advantage of the regional climate, direct and indirect evaporative cooling is used for most of the year to achieve the environmental limits specified in the Thermal Guidelines for ASHRAE Class 1 data centers, without the need for a traditional refrigeration system. Utilizing direct water-cooled data cabinets in combination with hot aisle containment strategies, the high-power density computing center can operate at an extremely low PUE of 1.06, making it one of the most efficient operating data centers in the world.
