As AI continues to shape the future of the data center industry, the resulting landscape presents both challenges and opportunities.
|
At the forefront of this conversation is Xylem’s Bell & Gossett, whose new e-book evaluates the current landscape and how modern data centers are prioritizing sustainability and community stewardship to ensure equitable water and energy use across their facilities.
|
Key findings highlight the importance of a full life-cycle approach that goes beyond basic infrastructure needs to embody environmental, operational and societal factors, with specific consideration for:
|
|
|
Site selection
With modern data centers consuming massive amounts of electricity and water, owners are scouting locations in areas with cooler climates, reliable grid infrastructure, water availability and access to renewable energy sources.
|
|
Scalability and flexibility
Operators want to ensure sustainable growth as data centers continue to expand, focusing on future-proof strategies to accommodate evolving sustainability standards, aging infrastructure and promote energy and material conservation.
|
|
|
Integration
Building owners are increasingly embracing scalable infrastructure and modular solutions to drive phased growth that seamlessly integrates newer, more efficient technologies with existing and ongoing operations.
|
|
Operational efficiency
Efficiency goes well beyond day-to-day operations. By ensuring every phase is optimized for performance, sustainability and adaptability, operators can:
|
- Reduce energy and resource demands
- Extend product lifecycle
- Minimize downtime and maintenance costs
- Ensure long-term viability and compliance
