Data Center Sustainability

Subsea Cloud will deliver latency- and carbon-reducing data center infrastructure and services, with a market focus on the U.S. and its financial, health care, and military industries, as well as converting some hyperscale players in the space from land-based centers to subsea centers.

This 24/7 method, compared to purchasing renewables on an annual match basis, tangibly reduces carbon emissions and, according to a recent study by Princeton Zero Lab, will make the broader transition to 100% carbon free energy more affordable and achievable. 

ASHRAE, a global nonprofit membership organization with more than 57,000 members in more than 130 countries worldwide, has been leading the engineering and development of facility standards and guidelines for 120-plus years.

My last article, “The Critical Facilities Labor Market,” discussed the current shortage of qualified and experienced labor. It focused on how the labor shortage came about and how it is impacting the overall industry. Basically, it honed in on the problem and associated causes.

There is a crisis developing in the critical facilities labor market. The available pool of qualified and experienced talent is not keeping up with the demand.

The critical facilities industry relies on industry standards to establish the minimum requirements necessary to design, build, and operate critical sites. Some of these standards get adopted by federal, state, and local governments through legislation as enforceable codes.
