Automated Logic Corporation (ALC), a leading provider of innovative building automation solutions that maximize energy efficiency, is providing critical building monitoring and control for Intergate.Manhattan, the world’s tallest high-rise data center.
Previously known as the Verizon Building, this 32-story, 1.2 million-square-foot tower located in lower Manhattan is owned by Sabey Data Center Properties, a Seattle-based multi-tenant data center infrastructure specialist and co-location provider. ALC is part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).
“We understand the mission-critical challenges data center building owners face in providing optimal environments for their facilities,” said Mead Rusert, president, Automated Logic. “The innovative control and monitoring features within WebCTRL give facility managers the power and flexibility they need to create ideal environments that operate as efficiently as possible. WebCTRL’s track record of reliability provides reassurance for the vital uptime demand in this market.”
ALC’s building automation system provides essential heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) control for the facility, which is capable of accommodating up to 40 megawatts of power and housing 600,000 square feet of data center space. The WebCTRL system is also providing multiple levels of redundant (2N) control, backed by extensive trend reporting capabilities.
Sabey’s critical operation team will fully utilize these capabilities to develop advanced sequences for chiller-plant optimization and maximum efficiency. Tenants will benefit from innovative system features that allow ideal operational conditions, security monitoring, and full access reporting and monitoring of critical operations.
“We have operated our data centers for many years with ALC building automation systems,” said John Sasser, vice president operations, Sabey Data Center Properties. “We find WebCTRL reliable, flexible and intuitive.”
The facility, which is the city’s only purpose-built data center, opened in March 2013 and has turnkey powered shell and lab space available.
Over the past two decades, Automated Logic has completed hundreds of data center projects. Most of these installations are Tier III and Tier IV installations, including the world’s largest data complex currently under construction in the western U.S.
ALC’s mission-critical clients include some of the world’s most successful and technologically advanced companies and government entities, including global leaders in financial markets and trading technology, software and internet security solutions, telecommunication providers, national defense agencies and the nation’s largest co-location provider.
