Part 1: Data Centers, the Rise of AI, and Environmental Site Selection
Wednesday, September 24, 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm ET
Environmental site selection for data centers is a complex process beyond the initial consideration of land and reliable power availability, along with the proximity to fiber optic hubs. As the demand for power and data processing continues to grow, additional complications are now surfacing with the desire for onsite generation and the repurposing of brownfield sites becoming more attractive. Brownfield industrial sites often have necessary infrastructure already in place including high-capacity power lines and transportation network, but they may also come with pre-existing environmental conditions. As these centers grow in size to accommodate growing capacity and power needs, other factors such as wetland permitting, noise considerations, and air quality permitting also become more complicated. The webinar covers data center market growth and the rise of AI, its impact on environmental site selection, and provides an overview of the site selection process.
