Case Study: Designing Data Centers With Community Integration in Mind to Secure Social Licence
11:40 am
- Reducing community resistance by embedding proven design responses to water use, noise, and visual impact, including closed-loop cooling, dry systems, and early acoustic mitigation
- Balancing cooling strategies and site planning decisions to manage local infrastructure expectations and neighbourhood proximity
- Elevating architectural and planning decisions beyond minimum zoning compliance to create facilities that integrate into their surroundings and remain viable 20–25 years on
- Interpreting county-by-county differences in power, water, noise, and environmental codes that can materially alter design assumptions even within the same state
