Energy Efficient
Data Centres
Unlocking their true potential
by reducing their Air Conditioning energy usage by
50%
Here's How . . .
A wide range of very large Australian Data Centres have had their roofs coated with SkyCools' revolutionary 'selective surface coating' with amazing effect. In each case several critical factors were taken as major considerations in the clients' evaluation of the ‘SkyCool Solution’ as compared to maintaining the status quo or just using white paint.
-
With the decrease in HVAC needed, what would be the likely increase in computer equipment that could be installed and thus increase profitability?
-
What scientific evidence do they have (not just client testimonials) from multiple acedimic studies?
-
What is the likely load reduction on the HVAC - saving costs and increasing longevity?
-
What is the likely extension to the life of the roof as it currently stands?
-
What effect will it have on the personnel and equipment working on the top floor of my building?
-
What is the expected temperature change to the ambient air envelope surrounding the building?
-
How does this product compare in the market place?
All the answers had to be on the positive side with proof that other like clients had experienced positive outcomes.
Two of the four major Australian banks have had their primary and back-up Data Centres coated.
A number of the largest private DC bureaus have had their facilities coated in Melbourne and Sydney.

How SkyCool tackled the complex and demanding problem:
Occasionally, the relevant HVAC piping was coated to help reduce the heat loading on the units and stop additional solar influence.
When air is drawn from outside the building the air-intake manifolds are coated to precool the air entering the HVAC unit.
Note that the data cabling trays have been coated on several to reduce their internal heat.
The pictures below show some of their roofs being coated. (Identity withheld for security reasons)
All roofs receive a double coating to ensure a cover of sufficient depth that will seal and reflect to the highest international industry standard.

ABOUT
SkyCool brings patented technology enabling large reductions in air conditioning operating costs. Better than all forms of insulation, it is a roof coating which interacts with the sky to actually draw heat out of the building rendering its interior cooler than ambient air - even under extreme summertime heat loads.
This was filmed using a Flir Infrared Camera, whilst spraying a Sydney roof, showing the speed of the cooling (blue) effect being generated.
C.S.I.R.O. - "A Cool Roof Coating that almost defies the conventional laws of physics. SkyCool provides a profound cooling effect that can halve the running costs of mechanical air-conditioning in buildings with metal roofs."
