Data centers: how to build with less carbon. Insights from Schneider Electric & WSP
Embodied carbon from concrete, steel, power and cooling equipment represents a growing share of the footprint of data centers, and hyperscale buyers increasingly ask suppliers for verified EPDs. Schneider Electric explains how it publishes product carbon data at scale, while WSP shows how project teams use that data in design and bids.
