Energy efficiency engineered into every layer of the facility — with honest measurement, accountable reporting and a commitment to design for environmental performance without claiming certifications ahead of evidence.
AI infrastructure consumes enormous amounts of energy. A single H100 GPU draws up to 700 watts, and a data centre housing thousands of such GPUs can require hundreds of megawatts of power. NOVACORE treats this energy consumption as a design constraint, not an afterthought. Sustainability is engineered into the facility from the first architectural sketch — through power system efficiency, cooling technology selection, waste heat recovery and renewable energy procurement. The commitment is to honest measurement and reporting: PUE figures are published only after they are measured in operation, not estimated during design. Claims about carbon footprint, renewable energy usage and environmental certifications are made only when independently verified. This disciplined approach means stakeholders can trust every sustainability statement — because it is backed by data, not marketing.
Modern power and cooling systems designed to achieve strong PUE — targeting below 1.2 through a combination of high-efficiency UPS, direct-to-chip liquid cooling, free cooling economisation and variable-speed drives on all major mechanical equipment. Power distribution is designed to minimise transformation losses, with 415V distribution to rack and elimination of unnecessary voltage conversions between utility feed and GPU server power supply.
Exploring waste heat recovery pathways with the surrounding community — including district heating network integration, greenhouse and agricultural heating, and industrial process heat supply. Liquid cooling systems produce higher-grade waste heat than air cooling, making heat reuse economically viable where district heating infrastructure exists or can be developed. Heat reuse feasibility is assessed as part of site selection.
Direct-to-chip liquid cooling enables higher rack densities with lower energy consumption than air cooling alone. By removing 70–80% of GPU heat directly at the cold plate, liquid cooling reduces or eliminates the need for high-volume air handling, cutting fan energy and enabling higher supply air temperatures. The facility water loop is sized for 100% liquid-cooled GPU deployment, future-proofing the infrastructure as GPU thermal design power continues to rise.
NOVACORE does not claim to be 'carbon neutral', 'net zero' or 'green certified' until these assertions are independently verified against measured operational data. Until then, all environmental statements are worded as design targets, procurement objectives and operational commitments — not achieved certifications. Carbon offsets, renewable energy certificates and similar instruments are disclosed transparently, with a clear distinction between direct emissions reductions and market-based instruments. This honest posture protects stakeholders from greenwashing and ensures that every sustainability claim can be substantiated with evidence.
| Metric | Target | Verification |
|---|---|---|
| PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) | <1.2 | Measured post-commissioning, reported quarterly |
| WUE (Water Usage Effectiveness) | <0.2 L/kWh | Where water-based cooling is used |
| Renewable energy | 50%+ by year 3 | PPA-based, verified by energy attribute certificates |
| Carbon reporting | Scope 1, 2 and material Scope 3 | Annual, independently reviewed |
| Waste heat reuse | Feasibility study per site | Assessed during Phase A/B |
