The use of renewable energy and promoting alternatives to the fuel economy have been part of atNorth’s DNA since its founding in 2010.

Optimized Energy Efficiency

The heat generated in our data center facilities is used for house heating that passes on a big part of the electric energy that is used to power technology infrastructure as hot water that is used for central house heating systems.
