1 DLB DATA CENTERS

2 Everything that DLB Associates does is to ensure we achieve extraordinary results for our clients. We ve been there, we understand the challenges our clients face and so we ensure thorough communication, assume full accountability, and always align with our clients needs. DLB thrives on solving the tough engineering, commissioning, and operational problems, but we are just as willing and able to employ refined process on conventional projects. DLB s learning-centric culture encourages constant evolution and improvement which is fueled by a wide range of experience: Project Size tiny to large Project Type residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, data centers, energy / technology Project Complexity very simple to complex Project Location different states, countries, cultures Project Delivery traditional, design / build, design / build / operate, integrated, public private partnership Client Type architect, developer, engineer, contractor, CM, owner, owner s representative, vendor DLB is engineered to be your consultant of choice, an extension of your staff, your go-to partner for the built environment.

3 DLB is active globally and has provided services for mission critical facilities in over 35 states and throughout the world. DLB has worked on literally THOUSANDS of data centers and telecommunications projects of all shapes and sizes. DLB has managed large, multi-national programs and has designed many large scale facilities dating back a number of years (e.g., a 60MW facility over 12 years ago) and data center campuses that are well over 100 acres. DLB has also worked on many smaller projects, with buildings as small as several hundred square feet. DATA CENTERS DLB CREDENTIALS Our collective experience provides DLB with a unique perspective and competitive edge in the following areas: A truly HOLISTIC approach all the way from the silica to the atmosphere enabling tradeoffs to achieve an optimal solution; INTIMATE knowledge behind the ASHRAE TC9.9 standards and guidelines, including how they were developed / evolved; Insight into the FUTURE of IT equipment (multiple generations ahead); Direct access to the industry thought leaders from THE leading companies. In short, there is NO SINGLE FIRM or COMBINATION of firms in the Mission Critical industry that can provide what DLB provides. In the last 5 years, DLB has designed data center campuses and buildings totaling of OVER 4 GIGAWATTS, 4,500 ACRES, and 16 MILLION SQUARE FEET of raised floor (white space) area across thousands of projects. DATA CENTERS DLB CREDENTIALS 1

4 ASHRAE Technical Committee (TC) 9.9 was co-founded by DLB President Don Beaty. Its mission: To be recognized by ALL areas of the datacom industry as the unbiased engineering leader in HVAC and an effective provider of technical information for the datacom industry. TC 9.9 Mission Critical Facilities, Technology Spaces and Electronic Equipment is concerned with the design, operations, maintenance, and efficient energy usage of modern data centers and technology spaces. The committee is comprised of a wide range of industry representatives including, but not limited to equipment manufacturers, consulting engineers, data center operators, academia, testing laboratories, and government, who are all committed to increasing and sharing the body of knowledge related to data centers. DLB is a major contributor to all 10 books in ASHRAE TC 9.9 s Datacom Series Don Beaty was Chair of TC 9.9 from its inception through June During this time, Don dedicated his efforts on educating the industry and exposing the work of TC 9.9 in order to solidify ASHRAE s reputation of being THE unbiased, vendor-neutral source of data center cooling material: a focus that has resulted in Don publishing over 50 technical papers and articles. He is also a frequent keynote speaker for the data center industry, having presented over 100 times and in more than 30 countries on various data centercentric topics. In addition to the title of ASHRAE Fellow, Don was heralded by DatacenterDynamics for his Outstanding Contribution to the Data Center Industry in DLB DATA CENTER EXPERTS Founding director of Green Grid, where he led efforts to publish 20 white papers and research projects in 2 years. Current chair of ASHRAE TC 9.9, and previously managed the design & construction of Verizon Wireless critical network facilities throughout the US. 2 DATA CENTER EXPERTS

5 From its mechanical / electrical consulting engineering roots, DLB has become one of the leading planning, design, construction and operations support firms with unmatched credentials. DATA CENTERS INDUSTRY OVERVIEW From our experience, we have found the following to be true: 1. Data Centers / Mission Critical facilities have SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT EMPHASES than other types of facilities (e.g., mission comes first). 2. Data Center designs have to be HOLISTIC and, therefore, they require prerequisite knowledge of optimal methods that allow for the SEAMLESS INTEGRATION of many traditionally ISOLATED industries. 3. Data Center designs require much more FUTURE-PROOFING than other facilities in order to support MULTIPLE GENERATIONS of IT equipment across a typical building / power & cooling plant lifecycle and to avoid PREMATURE OBSOLESCENCE. 4. The CONTINUOUS OPERATION mode of Data Centers represents a SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITY for energy efficiency consideration. 5. Data Centers focus on MISSION CRITICAL RELIABILITY. At face value, this belief appears to be in CONFLICT with GREEN design concepts. 6. Data Center design and construction requires INCREDIBLE AGILITY, CONSTANT ADAPTABILITY and complete familiarity with a FAST-PACE, RAPID CHANGE and RAPID DEPLOYMENT mode of operation. 7. Data Center design, construction and operation has a tremendous dependency on the HUMAN ASPECT, and any program or project level delivery system of services requires a FULL understanding of how to create the optimal CONDITIONS for successful outcomes. DATA CENTERS INDUSTRY OVERVIEW 3

6 DLB has extensive experience designing and commissioning mission critical data centers during the past decade on a program-wide basis for multiple large technology companies including Google, Level 3, and Rackspace. DATA CENTER PUE TRENDS: DLB vs. PUBLISHED EPA REPORT Our incredibly BROAD range of data center clients, designs, and installations provide us with a unique perspective and competitive edge. We focus on a seamless integration of business needs, IT needs, and facility needs for data centers of all sizes. DLB has designed and constructed MULTIPLE large data centers that have been operating for several years at a PUE below 1.3 (the lowest of which has been measured at 1.09). DLB REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS RACKSPACE DLB was the prime engineering professional and commissioning agent for Rackspace data centers located in Dallas and London. Work included expansion of the existing facilities capacity as well as re-commissioning of the existing mechanical and electrical systems. LEVEL 3 COMMUNICATIONS DLB was the engineer of record for more than 200 projects for Level 3 over a 5-year period with 50 concurrent projects at the peak of the program. The projects totaled more than 4 million square feet and over 220 MW of power and cooling capacity. Total construction costs exceed $1 billion. SENTINEL DLB Associates was brought onboard to assist Sentinel Data Centers in converting an existing warehouse facility in Raleigh, NC, into a colocation data center space. 4 DLB REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS

7 DLB was the prime engineering professional and commissioning agent for eight Google data center campuses between 2004 and 2011, with buildings ranging in size from 30,000 to 1 million square feet. The projects were fast-paced and geographically diverse. At one point, DLB provided design and commissioning services at campuses in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Iowa, Oklahoma, and Belgium simultaneously. The Google data centers are amongst the largest and most energy efficient in the world. Construction costs totaled more than $1 billion over seven years. THE DLB GOOGLE PROGRAM CHANGING THE INDUSTRY The resounding success of the engagement is best described in the Googlers own words as they addressed the DLB staff: Joe Kava, Ben Treynor and Urs Hoelzle of Google with Don Beaty addressing the staff at DLB Headquarters What we really liked in the very beginning was that it sort of very quickly became a real partnership where the question really was not about who s the client and who s the consultant or something like, but really about what are the problems that we re trying to solve [ ] The amazing thing was that we found you guys and that, in fact, you were already out of the stone age and you really got the value of both optimizing for not initial cost only, but really total cost of ownership, and also for being flexible. Urs Hoelzle, Google Fellow and Senior Vice President of Operations Often times you don t realize that you are innovating and changing the industry at the time you are doing it [...] what you have done over the last seven years has completely changed the computing industry forever and for the better. Ben Treynor, Vice President of Engineering I don t think that you can go and find anywhere on the internet a manual on how to build infrastructure at a Google scale. So, we created it along the way, mostly to you and your team, and we couldn t have done it without you. Really remarkable. Thank you very much. Joe Kava, Senior Director of Data Center Operations and Construction THE DLB GOOGLE PROGRAM CHANGING THE INDUSTRY 5

8 PROGRAM MANAGEMENT (PM) SERVICES PM Services focus on the management of overall build programs, master plans and campuses. Considering how unique and fluid the mission critical industry is, the management at the program level is more challenging than other programs and represents a continuous effort to manage and reinforce a holistic and change-centric approach. MECHANICAL & ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING DESIGN & PROJECT MANAGEMENT (A/E) SERVICES Facilitated by our vastly experienced and skilled in-house roster of design and project management teams, a full range of evolutionary and adaptive design services is offered, ranging from conceptual design, through schematic design, design development, permit documents, pricing documents, contract documents, and construction documents. These services are supplemented with an extensive R&D background and in-house technical expertise / resources that can provide related services, such as cost estimating, scheduling, CFD, and an AIA Integrated Project Delivery system using BIM (Revit). AUTOMATION MASTER SYSTEMS INTEGRATOR (MSI) DLB offers an extensive range of MSI services, including automation planning, hardware and software engineering, installation, component verification, and system commissioning. We continuously challenge the traditional approach by applying our unique process to automation systems delivering industry-leading results. High-performance and reliable yet flexible and operationally-focused systems are delivered by being innovative and going beyond the industry standard. DLB SERVICES CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION (CA) SERVICES While traditional engineers attempt to limit their scope, we believe that it is imperative to be hands on (and on-site) as much as possible, especially when the implementation has such a major role to play in the success of the overall project. As much as practical, our goal is to be very accessible and very collaborative with the construction team to provide support, assistance and guidance on how to best translate the design intent into the installed project. COMMISSIONING (CX) SERVICES Cx Services include confirmation and validation of the implementation of the design. This service includes developing and managing the testing, measuring, and monitoring necessary to collect sufficient data to confirm that both the design and construction meet the overall goals and objectives for a given site or project. DLB s Cx Services uses a non-traditional, "Adaptive Commissioning Approach, where the amount of detail and repeatability testing is varied on the fly, based on data and performance as it is collected. TRANSITION TO OPERATIONS (T2O) SERVICES The T2O Services represents a proprietary system developed by DLB to help with the transition to operating highly unique and complex mission critical facilities. Effectively planning and managing the transitional stage from construction to live operations is crucial and requires consideration for elements such as Early Occupancy Work Procedures and Customized Operations Training & Documentation that is focused on measurable results and effective execution. OPERATIONS SUPPORT (OS) SERVICES OS Services provide continued support for the facility operators to contribute to successful long term operations. These activities are conducted in a collaborative environment to enhance process efficiencies, lower PUE and maximize facility uptime. Some key activities include procedure development, re-commissioning, managing adds, moves and changes and providing technical maintenance engineering support for the facility operators. 6 DLB SERVICES

9 NEW JERSEY HEADQUARTERS Our primary goal for our headquarters was to create the physical embodiment of the DLB culture. As with the processes utilized for our clients, tremendous attention to detail was paid to our needs and the result was a truly optimal environment that effortlessly integrates with the way we work. The New Jersey office is over 70,000 square feet and technologically advanced, with a heightened focus on learning, communication and collaboration. The design concepts of the headquarters were then carried through to our other offices, so our entire firm is able to operate as one virtual office in a seamless manner. This approach facilitates the ability to deliver brilliant results for our clients. NEW JERSEY 265 Industrial Way West Eatontown, NJ p: NEW YORK One Penn Plaza Suite 2601 New York, NY p: ATLANTA 3290 Cumberland Club Drive Suite 300 Atlanta, GA p: DLB OFFICES NEW YORK Optimally located in One Penn Plaza, our 20,000-square foot NYC office mirrors the environment and technologies of our headquarters that are central to the firm. The open plan design, large circulation and gathering areas, video conferencing in all of the meeting rooms and dedicated training rooms are true differentiators amongst typical NYC office spaces for engineers. ATLANTA Our 7,500-square foot office is centrally located along the northwest corridor of Atlanta. Again reflecting the style, atmosphere and cutting-edge technology of our headquarters, our Atlanta office includes an open floor plan and video conferencing capabilities in meeting rooms, training rooms and private offices to further expand our virtual office infrastructure.
