Comparison of GHG Emissions, Blue Water Consumption and Energy Demand in Advanced Liquid Cooling Technologies for Data Centers
Watch a 19-minute conference presentation from Microsoft and WSP experts exploring the environmental impacts of alternative datacenter cooling technologies through life cycle assessment (LCA) modeling. Learn how different cooling methods like 1- and 2-phase liquid immersion and various cold plate technologies compare to conventional air-cooling in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, and energy demand. Gain insights from Teresa Nick (Microsoft's Director of Natural Systems & Sustainability), Julie Sinistore (WSP Vice President), and Husam Alissa (Microsoft Principal Engineer) as they present relative impact comparisons and percentage differences between cooling approaches to help inform more sustainable datacenter operations.
