Join the Building Design+Construction editorial team for this webinar on key trends and innovations in the $41 billion U.S. data center construction market. This live webinar, worth 1.0 AIA HSW learning unit, will take place Thursday, October 15, at 1 pm ET.
A panel of data center design and construction firms from three leading Data Center Giant firms present the latest architecture, engineering, and construction trends, opportunities, obstacles, and data/research related to the data center facilities market.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Discuss the environmental impacts of modern, large-scale data center developments, and how project teams and data center developers can minimize both short- and long-term effects to local communities.
- Review the latest design trends in data center developments, including acoustic design, lighting design, MEP engineering, and landscape design approaches to reduce the impact of data center facilities on the surrounding community.
- Learn about emerging and popular construction approaches, including modular construction, prefabrication, and other labor-, time-, and cost-saving practices.
- Analyze airflow and cooling challenges associated with both air- and liquid-cooled facilities and describe strategies to ensure effective thermal performance.
- Discuss compliance and mitigation approaches for community-adjacent concerns, including acoustics, sightlines and aesthetics, mechanical yard visibility, and water usage.
HSW justification
All three presentations cover multiple themes related to the health, safety, and welfare of building occupants and the surrounding community, including low-carbon design, sustainability, acoustic design, renewable energy, on-site power generation, energy-efficient building system, and lighting design.
Education Level: Intermediate
