Data centre cooling and water use: Trends and innovations from the US, UK, and Australia

Data centre design is evolving as we respond to new and changing pressures. As an integral part of today’s society, data centres must react to climate change, grid capacity, water constraints, and more.

Members of our global data centre team discuss these important questions:

• How is data centre water use changing?
• Which climate and water scenarios must the data centre industry prepare for to remain resilient?
• How are our teams tackling this, from alternative water sources and renewable power solutions to hybrid cooling systems?
• How can you make data centre cooling systems more efficient?
• How can data centres support public water networks?

We must design data centres and mission critical facilities to meet today's challenges and prepare for tomorrow's possibilities. Our global data centre team offers an end-to-end service and has worked on some of the most pioneering developments in the world.
