Framework and Best Practice

Creating a sustainable data center lifecycle

The Industry Best Practice covers all phases of the life of a Data Center from planning to designing, building, operating, and decommissioning. It covers all aspects of sustainability including environmental and social impacts throughout the value chain — a complete life-cycle perspective.

Flexible, adaptable, and scalable to meet the developing needs of the industry, the model incorporates new ideas, innovations, and concepts as they are introduced.
