South Burlington, VT – June 7, 2010 – Leading Edge Design Group, a leading provider of Energy Optimization Services, announced today that they will help Tech Vault Inc pursue a LEED Gold Certification for their new next generation Data Center and Colocation facility in South Burlington, VT. This achievement would make Tech Vault the first LEED Gold Data Center in the Northeast.
In their new Data Center design, Tech Vault has worked diligently with Leading Edge Design Group to minimize the carbon footprint and prioritize energy efficiency in design. Their commitment to efficiency was recently rewarded with a substantial energy rebate offer from Efficiency Vermont. In order to further their commitment to energy efficiency, Tech Vault has decided to pursue a LEED Gold Certification for the Data Center. “Many data center projects that achieve LEED certifications of any level include construction of office spaces that help increase available LEED credits, but construction of the Tech Vault facility entails data center spaces only, which makes it extremely challenging to achieve the LEED Gold designation,” said Todd Boucher, Principal at Leading Edge Design Group. “Despite this obstacle, Tech Vault remains committed to the aggressive pursuit of a LEED Gold designation and we are excited for the opportunity to participate in such a progressive project.”
The Tech Vault data center, www.techvault.net, is currently under construction with a summer completion date.
