Looking to set the standard in energy efficiency, Facebook took a different approach in managing the humidity and temperature control of their Prineville data center. Instead of bringing cooling to the racks, they decide to cool the entire data center to the desired temperatures.
With the help of a Meefog System, designed to properly cool and humidify the entire building, Facebook was able to achieve a PUE (Power Utilization Effectiveness) of 1.15.
