Iron Mountain's Experimental Room 48

twailgum writes "Twenty-two stories underground in Iron Mountain's Western Pennsylvania facility, 'you'll find Room 48, an experiment in data center energy efficiency. Open for just six months, the room is used by Iron Mountain to discover the best way to use geothermal conditions and engineering designs to establish the perfect environment for electronic documents. Room 48 is also being used to devise a geothermal-based environment that can be tapped to create efficient, low-cost data centers.'"

50 degrees water

[Anonymous Coward]

I wish americans would stop using farenheit. everytime the article said '50 degree water' i thought 'gosh thats quite warm for an underground lake, why are they exchanging heat with that?

Then it struck me that Americans still use a backward temperature system. Go America.
