France Telecom, a winner of the Clean and Economic Technologies Trophies 2007
Paris, November 29, 2007
France Telecom won the “Large Companies” category in the 2007 Clean and Economic Technologies Trophies(*) with an "optimised ventilation” system developed and deployed in-house. The Trophy was presented on 27 November at the Pollutec-ADEME Energies show.
"Optimised ventilation" exploits natural variations in temperature - particularly nighttime coolness and the thermal inertia of buildings - to avoid using classic air conditioning systems.
This innovation was developed and patented by the France Telecom Orange Labs network, which invented this "clean" temperature regulation and hygrometry process to ensure an optimised environment suitable for the proper operation of its telecoms equipment.
Thanks to this system, France Telecom has reduced its energy consumption by a factor of 6-7 (compared to a classic air conditioning system) across close on 400 technical sites throughout France whilst eliminating the use of refrigerants that are harmful to the environment.
(*): The "Clean and Economic Technologies" Trophies were organised for the 15th consecutive year by the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME) and the magazine "Industries et Technologies". It is awarded to companies having made innovative investments to meet their own needs that have contributed to reducing energy consumption and/or pollution.
