At Telehouse Canada, we’re committed to using our innovation, technology and talent to help create a safe and sustainable tomorrow for our planet, customers and communities. Sustainability is fundamental to our vision: empowering businesses, communities, and individuals – because every connection matters. Partnering with us means advancing your own ESG goals with the support of a trusted provider that prioritizes sustainability, security, and governance at every stage.

Designed for Energy Efficiency

Sustainability is embedded in every aspect of our infrastructure. Our data halls are optimized with:

Sustainable Innovative Designs

Cold aisle containment that improves cooling efficiency while reducing energy waste.

Smart Load Management

Smart airflow management that ensures cooling is directed where it’s needed most, while variable frequency drives on mechanical equipment dynamically adjust power usage based on demand, preventing unnecessary consumption.

Adaptive Control Systems

Occupancy sensors and LED lighting to help further reduce electricity consumption in non-active areas, ensuring every watt is used efficiently.

Innovative Cooling for a Greener Future

At Telehouse Canada, we are redefining energy efficiency with advanced cooling solutions that reduce environmental impact while ensuring top-tier data centre performance. Our facilities at 151 and 250 Front St. W in Toronto leverage Enwave’s Deep Lake Water Cooling System (DLWC), an innovative technology that uses the cold temperatures of Lake Ontario to cool our data centres.

The system utilizes water at 4C from the bottom of Lake Ontario to cool our data centres. Heat transfer technology takes the heat generated by our data centres and other Enwave customers facilities to provide sustainable heat for the City of Toronto’s drinking water.

This solution reduces our electricity use by 80% and displaces 55 MW of energy from Toronto’s electrical grid annually – the equivalent of powering 40,000 households.

The use of Enwave’s Deep Lake Water Cooling System (DLWC) significantly contributes to Telehouse Canada’s low Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.3. By leveraging the naturally cold temperatures of Lake Ontario instead of mechanical cooling systems, the DLWC minimizes overall power consumption and improves efficiency.
