What if the biggest efficiency opportunity in edge data centers isn't the cooling system - it's the building itself?

Edge facilities achieve PUEs of 1.6-2.0+, far worse than hyperscale's 1.2-1.3. The gap isn't IT density or mechanical system quality - it's the envelope. Standard edge modules import massive parasitic loads through inadequate insulation, thermal bridges, and air leakage, forcing cooling systems to battle on two fronts simultaneously.

This white paper demonstrates how Passive House building science - a rigorous, performance-verified methodology - transforms data center envelopes from liabilities into assets. By applying five core principles.
