S1 will have a PUE of 1.3. It uses a chilled water system and free-air cooling. Water is pumped from chillers to the roof-top cooling towers pictured here, which then supply water to CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioning) units that cool the data halls.

These 600-millimetre pipes carry condenser water between the chillers and roof-top cooling towers.
