The agenda for Data Center World 2025 is being finalized. It will focus on data center IT infrastructure, mission-critical facilities management, new power designs and solutions, emerging construction practices, and the tools and technologies needed to become an AI factory. Keep an eye out for the upcoming agenda announcement! In the meantime, enjoy this sneak peek of one of our conference sessions.
Aquifer Energy Cooling: Sustainability Below the Surface
The energy of the earth's aquifers can provide a cooling technology that saves energy, uses no water, and takes very little footprint. Traditional geothermal systems can't be used for a data center's year-round cooling loads, but utilizing the moving aquifer for heat transfer can provide full cooling at a fraction of the energy usage of traditional technologies. This session will review Aquifer Geothermal Technology, its data center uses, and provide a cost comparison to traditional HVAC systems. Case study examples will show construction costs, federal rebates and energy consumption as compared to traditional systems.
- Clear understanding of the technologies that can utilize the aquifers for data center heat transfer
- Understand the difference between traditional geothermal and aquifer-based geothermal
- Financial reviews of example case studies for overall ROI discussions
