Case Studies

Take a look at how we are helping businesses and endusers overcome issues thanks to the implementation of Hager solutions.

Facebook Data Centre and Offices

The Facebook project at Clonee, Co. Meath, Ireland, consists of data halls and office space, all of which required lighting connection and control. Hager had the solution... Klik 7 and DALI sensors were chosen to be installed.

The 250 acre Clonee Data Centre is home to servers that hold data from Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Oculus. Introduced in 2015, construction began on the €200m facility in April 2016 and rapidly grew to be the largest construction project in Ireland at the time.

After 7.2 million hours completed on the construction site by nearly 1,550 workers at peak, the first two buildings called Clonee 1 and 2, are now up and running. Clonne 3 is on the path to completion and Facebook is hoping to have it finished next year, while a planning application for Clonee 4 and 5 has been lodged. With the employment of 1,000 – 1,500 people for continuous periods of time, projects of this nature are remarkably good for the local and regional economy.

In an effort to stay energy efficient, Facebook designed an agreement with Brookfield renewable Partners, confirming that the site is 100% powered by wind energy and actively investing in constructing renewable generation capacity. At present, Facebook has stated it has added 2,500MW of renewable infrastructure that includes solar, wind and hydro globally in the last year alone and continues to increase as time goes on.

Mercury Engineering needed a lighting solution for wiring all the DALI fittings throughout the numerous data halls, and office spaces that occupy the building. Hager presented the Klik solution with the agreement to customise the length and part numbers to match the specifications of the project. After the decision was finalised, Mercury Engineering, distributor NEW and Hager worked closely together to come to an arrangement on time-scale quantities and supply.

Hager’s Klik range is a solution for any lighting design scenario. The Klik offer allows for automatic lighting control that provides energy savings by not operating when there are sufficient light levels present. With a range of settings for daylight linked dimming, occupancy sensing and DALI control, Klik was an ideal lighting solution for the Facebook Data Centre project.
