Data Center Sectors Roundtable

Wednesday, November 5 | 3:30 - 4:30 PM | Room: 153 BC

With U.S. data center capacity projected to surge roughly 25–35% by 2026 - driven by AI and cloud demand - the need for credible, comparable performance metrics is urgent. This panel brings together stakeholders from the digital infrastructure community to explore how applying green building certifications to data centers delivers transparent, verifiable performance on energy and water efficiency, carbon reduction, and sustainable material utilization. Speakers will share how certification builds community trust, streamlines approvals, and aligns with policy goals. Operators and tenants need standardized metrics to prove performance and avoid greenwashing, while reconciling uptime, density, and sustainability. Join us to see how public sector priorities and private sector innovation meet to provide credible, resilient, and truly sustainable digital infrastructure.
