iMasons Climate Accord Summit
About the event
iMasons Climate Accord summit on aligning digital infrastructure growth with climate targets, aimed at data centre sustainability leaders and stakeholders working on carbon reduction.
Who it is for / why attend
For DC design engineers and sustainability leads working on carbon reduction. Sessions cover low-carbon materials, energy-efficient IT/MEP systems, renewable power integration and cooling's water demand, plus workshops on supply-chain decarbonisation and the energy-water nexus.

Driving sustainability in data centers
Use the 6.75 Mgal/MW-yr figure as a sanity-check benchmark for evaporative designs.
- A typical 1 MW data centre with traditional cooling uses about 6.75 million gallons of water per year.

Net sustainability assessment of AI-driven data centers in the GCC: an MCDA approach framework
In AI data-centre investment assessment in hot, arid regions, weigh carbon, water, social and governance criteria together with explicit weights (0.40/0.25/0.20/0.15); indirect water (desalination energy) was about 0.68 times direct cooling water.
- In the extended boundary, embodied carbon adds 15-25% to the operational footprint.

Solutions to Water and Power Availability that Challenge the Future of Data Centers
In a site/sustainability module, estimate annual water (m3), WUE and cooling energy for alternative plant types at a chosen SAT, using local water and power tariffs.
- Case prices: water ~USD 2/m3, power ~USD 0.10/kWh.
