Data Center Sustainability

An absolute best practice for critical facilities is a site-specific performance-based training program.

Formal commissioning is now an accepted practice and included in almost all new data center construction projects

Commissioning critical facilities has become the accepted practice.

Building energy codes have been around for a long time and compliance is mandatory.

Site assessments are an excellent means for making an objective appraisal of a facility’s true strengths and weaknesses and can provide a substantial return on investment.

The critical facilities industry uses service level agreements, or SLAs, extensively. SLAs vary greatly and are used both internally within corporations, between landlords and tenants—especially within colocation (“colo”) facilities

When most people think about the design for a facility they tend to mean the engineering and design of the physical facility. But why stop there?

Too often site maintenance programs are implemented independently of the facility construction effort and, in many cases, almost as an afterthought.

Discipline, rigor, experience, training, process driven procedures, and a culture of excellence—that’s what it takes to deliver continuous operations over the life of a critical facility.
