Data centres are an essential feature of modern life. They support the digital technologies that ensure society runs effectively and efficiently without disruption. They provide the capability to address, through innovation, some of the world’s biggest challenges. At the same time, they are part of the challenge. They need to adapt and innovate so the sector continues to support and develop a vibrant digital economy which is open and accessible, without consuming unsustainable levels of resources.
This is happening. From our market-leading position, Royal HaskoningDHV is continually innovating to enable data centres to run more effectively and efficiently, with increasing reliability, while using less water and energy. We are mindful of the wider environment, optimising space, ensuring architecture is appropriate, and embracing synergies such as heat exchange with local homes and businesses. Using multi-criteria methods, including parametric design, we are testing concepts before implementation to see their impact on reducing energy, water, materials, investment and operational costs, as well as the extent to which they meet circular economy principles.
Our sustainable solutions for greenfield and brownfield sites include energy-efficient design, waste heat exchange and energy storage, the reuse of existing buildings, smaller footprints through high-rise development, reduced water usage, and more. With Royal HaskoningDHV to lead the way, you can rely on practical solutions to incorporate sustainability in your data centre, now and for the future.
