Facebook Data Centre

What an enormous facility! The entire campus covers 250 hectares. 11,800 tonnes of steel (enough to recreate 2 Eiffel Towers) and 58,000 m² of concrete were used to construct both Clonee no.1 and no.2 buildings. Announced in 2015, the ground-breaking ceremony for the €200 million facility took place in April 2016 and quickly became the largest construction project in Ireland at the time.

The Facebook data centre predominantly consists of main computer rooms and offices, all of which were fitted with dimmable lights. Mercury Engineering required a lighting solution for wiring all the DALI fittings throughout the numerous data halls, and office spaces that occupy the building. Hager presented the Klik solution customising the cable length to match the specifications of the project.

Hager’s Klik range is a solution for any lighting design scenario. The Klik offer allows for automatic lighting control that provides energy savings by not operating when there are sufficient light levels present. With a range of settings for daylight linked dimming, occupancy sensing and DALI control, Klik was an ideal lighting solution for the Facebook Data Centre project.
