Campus Aims for Country’s first DGNB Gold Certification

The Saeby campus in northern Denmark aims to achieve the country’s first DGNB Gold sustainability certification. The local community will receive district heating from the Saeby Heat Plant (SHP) using recycled waste heat. In addition, SHP returns chilled water to the campus.

Net positive environmental impact

Prime Denmark will have a net-positive environmental impact because it will be carbon neutral and run entirely on renewable energy.

Other sustainability highlights

Additional sustainability highlights include biofuel-powered backup generators, environmentally friendly building materials, and a customer option for in-rack cooling that efficiently handles power densities of up to 50 kilowatts per cabinet. Prime offers this feature in its partnership with New Nordic Data Cooling ApS.

Trine Saaby, Chairwoman of the Board at Saeby Varmevaerk, stated, “As a non-profit focused on being Denmark’s leader in zero-carbon district heating, we are excited to partner with Prime on this initiative.”
