Enhancing Sustainability in Building Development for Large Enterprises
When it comes to building development for large enterprises, commercial data center providers, and cloud companies, the focus on sustainability has never been more crucial. From reducing greenhouse gas emissions to overall environmental impact, every aspect of the design and construction process must be carefully evaluated.
Before any project kicks off, stakeholders such as developers, financiers, architects, designers, engineers, construction leads, and contractors need to consider the long-term implications of their decisions. Measuring Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, from the materials used to the construction process itself, presents a significant challenge.
Furthermore, it’s essential to recognize that not every data center project involves starting from scratch. By leveraging existing buildings and implementing modernization and upgrades, developers can minimize embodied carbon costs. The integration of the latest power and cooling infrastructure also plays a key role in achieving optimal GHG carbon emission ratings.
