The pace of change and growth in the development of data centres is significant, but how much scope is there to improve their sustainability credentials? Operational efficiency and power usage can deliver big wins. But what about material choices? How do good intentions make it to reality? Is there an argument that design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA) could be adopted more widely? Putting the sustainability arguments to the test are Angela Vico Correas, director at studioNWA...
