DATA CENTER

Thermal insulation and sound absorption

High-performance architecture called upon to manage large temperature swings and the noise generated by the servers.

For the thermal insulation of the ground-floor car park ceilings, Diathonite Evolution bio-mortar was chosen, completed by the cork-based coloured coating Decork Façade.

The acoustic correction of the walls is entrusted instead to Diathonite Acoustix+, applied within the cavities of the double walls to shield the acoustic impact of the plant.
