Cupertino, California, located close to San Francisco, is home to the headquarters of American technology company Apple. The building was designed by British architect Norman Foster, who realized the idea
of an oversized ring in connection with the former Apple Campus at Infinite Loop No. 1 in Cupertino.
At a diameter of almost half a kilometre (461 m), the building complex offers a gigantic usable area of 260,000 m2 and space for 12,000 employees. The ring contains a 130,000 m2 park with rest areas, cafés, sports facilities and a rainbow-coloured festival stage, which was inaugurated by Lady Gaga in 2018. Powered entirely by renewable energy, the building features a 17-megawatt rooftop solar energy system and energy-efficient evaporative cooling from Condair.
The Condair ME evaporative cooler is specially designed to meet the requirements of indirect exhaust air cooling. These include a simple structure, extremely economical operation, and durable components. The patented humidifier box achieves optimum values in its vaporizing effect.

Significant energy saving
Indirect evaporative cooling reduces the power requirement of a cooling machine for mechanical cooling.
Conventional cooling machines and cooling batteries can therefore be designed to be significantly smaller and more cost-effective.
In addition to this, the ongoing operating costs for building cooling are reduced.

Location-specific calculation with myCoolblue
Using the free myCoolblue software, you can make precise calculations even if the project is still in the planning stage. In addition to the project data, the software also factors in the specific weather profile of the site based on the archive data of the German Weather Service.
