When it comes to overall carbon footprint of a facility, embodied carbon can account for a significant proportion of this. So, what practical steps is the industry taking to decarbonize construction and what more needs to be done to reduce the overall environmental impact of the data center? This episode will explore:
- The opportunities available from materials such as recycled steel and low-carbon concrete
- How data centers can harness brownfield sites where feasible
- How to reduce cumulative embodied carbon by extending server lifespans
- How metrics for embodied carbon are evolving and how to standardize in a complicated supply chain
