VIDEO : Explaining the high level vision of the DataCube ® facility our own cold from the heat .” Data centres are very much affected by external temperatures and so the DataCube concept is built with 200mm of uninsulated prefab concrete , an idea of Kuijs and Gorissen that points to a cooling advantage realised through using concrete in excess of 25 %. This is just by using convection of outside cold through the concrete , additional low speed ventilation and indirect adiabatic cooling .
This cooling element , rooted very much in the makeup of the DataCube itself , all comes together under a patent that Data Valley Group only recently obtained . But this is no regular patent , as Gorissen points out .
“ It ’ s actually really strange . We applied for the patent in
