Bringing together expert insights, global examples and practical recommendations, our digital resource highlights how better planning and smarter design can help support more sustainable outcomes, including nine best-practice principles for greening data centres.
Through these principles, we can help transform data centres from high-impact infrastructure into resilient assets that support both people and planet.
From emissions statistics, to how we can rethink planning, to key considerations for sustainability, we assess the current global landscape of data centres.
WorldGBC’s best-practice policy principles for more sustainable data centres, mapped against our foundational Global Policy Principles for a Sustainable Built Environment.
