Fantastic news for TELEHOUSE London! On February 2nd, 2011 they announced receiving the Carbon Trust Award. This certification was bestowed upon them after reducing carbon emissions by a staggering 12%! Their incredible accomplishment was discovered after a rigorous, independent assessment over a 12 month period. Congratulations to our European colleagues for such a positive environmental achievement!
TELEHOUSE now joins 500 other notable organizations in their quest to cut down on carbon emissions and sustain a safe and unpolluted environment. Some of the actions taken by TELEHOUSE London include replacing air conditioning units and turning lights off in technical buildings when they aren’t necessary. These small adjustments contributed to an annual savings of up to £30,000!
Reducing energy consumption has become a main focus for TELEHOUSE. Last year, TELEHOUSE West opened a new data center facility in the prestigious Docklands region of London with these carbon reducing initiatives introduced as soon as the doors opened. This is a huge leap forward for TELEHOUSE and our 40 locations around the globe.
One of the many ways TELEHOUSE has optimized this opportunity is by converting waste heat into electricity to help to power homes and businesses surrounding the TELEHOUSE London facilities. TELEHOUSE London is also encouraging customers to use more energy efficient equipment and spread the word about maintaining business continuity through “green” initiatives.
