In the energy-intensive data center industry, Ark is dedicated to creating a cleaner, greener technology landscape with innovative infrastructure solutions that empower our customers and enhance their sustainability efforts.
Six of Ark’s purpose-built, enterprise-class data centers have achieved coveted ENERGY STAR® Certifications from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, underscoring our ongoing commitment to pursuing sound Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices. Through ongoing incremental improvements, Ark’s Akron, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Boise and Tucson facilities obtained ENERGY STAR® Certifications for the first time in 2023, while our Duluth facility achieved its fifth consecutive certification. Of the six data centers certified, three were in the 90th percentile, with Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Boise scoring 96, 99 and 98 respectively.
The ENERGY STAR® Certification is the only energy efficiency certification in the U.S. based on verified energy performance—certified facilities have achieved a score of at least 75 in their evaluation and are verified to perform in the top 25% of buildings nationwide. On average, ENERGY STAR® Certified facilities use 35% less energy, cause 35% fewer greenhouse gas emissions and are less expensive to operate than their peers, all without sacrifices in performance and comfort.
Beyond providing world-class enterprise hybrid infrastructure solutions, the Ark team has a deep passion for putting good into the world. We are committed to leveraging our time, talents and expertise to ensure a brighter future for generations to come.
What started with the launch of a single event in 2010 has turned into a movement that is a core part of our unique company culture. The Ark Impact program reflects our passion and commitment to driving positive change across our vast network.
Ark serves multiple enterprise markets across the U.S., and we’re committed to helping those communities thrive. Throughout the year, we host and participate in several key events and initiatives to give back, build and strengthen relationships in the communities we serve and inspire the tech leaders of tomorrow.
