Designing High-Performance Data Centers for Intelligent Buildings
This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.
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 of 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.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Recall current technology trends as they relate to data, buildings, and sustainability.
- Define intelligent building.
- Identify the challenges and opportunities of intelligent buildings.
- Illustrate how LEED® and sustainable design support high-performance data centers.
- Explore high-performance solutions for data center design to achieve LEED® certification.
