Challenge
Building inside Technobothnia's more than 200-year-old buildings places special demands on planning and execution – while the technology must meet the highest requirements for cooling, power supply and flexibility.
Solution
Kvadraten Service Ab was the building contractor when the Vaasa universities completed one of Finland's most innovative data centres: WSTAR, Wasa Zero Emission Data Centre, at Technobothnia in Brändö, Vaasa.
Result
The project is a collaboration between Novia University of Applied Sciences, the University of Vaasa, Åbo Akademi University and Vaasa University of Applied Sciences VAMK, funded by the Research Council of Finland. The research environment focuses on energy-efficient cooling, waste heat recovery and data centres that can run almost emission-free.
