Balancing Water Use & Energy Efficiency in Next-Gen Data Centers for a Sustainable, Future-Ready Industry
8:50 am
- Navigating geographic and climatic constraints in cooling design to balance water availability with energy demands of the grid
- Collaborating with municipalities and water utilities to unlock sustainable sources (e.g., non-potable water, district cooling or wastewater reuse)
- Incorporating WUE (Water Usage Effectiveness) alongside PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) into mechanical design KPIs to drive informed trade-offs and optimize total resource efficiency
