The rapid growth of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure is fueling one of the largest construction booms in decades. As demand for data centers accelerates, developers, designers, contractors, and material suppliers face a critical challenge: how do we deliver this essential infrastructure while reducing the embodied carbon associated with construction?

This panel brings together leaders from technology companies, engineering and design firms, construction, and economics to explore how the industry is rethinking procurement, material selection, structural systems, construction practices, and project delivery to reduce carbon without sacrificing speed, resilience, or performance.

Panelists will discuss emerging strategies, lessons learned from recent projects, and where policy, innovation, and market demand are shaping the future of low-carbon data center development. Attendees will gain practical insights into one of the fastest-growing building sectors and the opportunities to embed sustainability from the ground up.
