Approximately four years ago, the Chief Administrative Officer of the U.S. House of Representatives initiated the Green the Capitol program. The initiative's cornerstone encompassed activities that would dramatically reduce power consumption, while allowing for enhanced House data center services. The resulting project not only achieved its goal earlier than expected, it surpassed expectations by reducing energy consumption for Information Technology and cooling by 70 percent.
