He agrees that there’s a “dawning recognition” that we don’t have a choice.
While the industry strives to reduce PUE in data centres, sustainability efforts should also focus on minimising process water consumption during adiabatic cooling.Cooling towers, which consume substantial amounts of water year-round, may eventually be phased out or replaced with hybrid systems that prioritise dry cooling methods or utilise HDAC units.. By embracing these trends, data centres can enhance efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and pave the way for a more sustainable future in the ever-evolving landscape of IT infrastructure..

This realistic assessment of asset performance allows us to incorporate feedback, reduce risk, and enhance efficiency from the outset.. Understanding Chip Thinking®.
Chip Thinking® is a systematic approach to dissecting the critical components of a data centre facility.The conversation underscores the transformative impact of digital technologies on construction.
Whyte discusses the shift from traditional practices to digital-first strategies, where the use of data analytics, BIM (Building Information Modelling), and digital twins becomes central to project delivery.This digital shift not only enhances efficiency and collaboration but also opens new avenues for innovation in project analytics and stakeholder engagement.. 3.
