Course Description: AEC Daily: Designing High-Performance Data Centers for Intelligent Buildings
Today’s buildings are evolving from independently functioning structures to intelligent buildings that interact with occupants and surrounding buildings. This trend has impacted the design, operation, and maintenance of data centers around the globe due to the increased demand for data and digital communication and has resulted in more high-performance data centers. This presentation addresses the specific needs of data centers and presents high-performance design solutions that support sustainable design.
Recall current technology trends as they relate to data, buildings, and sustainability, and how data demands are being driven through changes in technology in today’s buildings.
Define intelligent building.
Identify the challenges of intelligent buildings that arise from large IT grids, and the opportunities presented when building new or transitioning an existing building to an intelligent building.
Illustrate how LEED® and sustainable design strategies accommodate technological advancements and increases in data demands—without sacrificing safety, cost, or environmental impact.
Explore high-performance solutions for data center design to achieve LEED® v4 BD+C: Data Center certification.
