More AI Data Centres to Use Smart-Building Technologies
AI Article Summary
AI data centres are projected to increasingly integrate smart-building technologies in response to growing energy and electrification demands. ABB Canada is prioritizing investments in innovative solutions for next-generation data centres, focusing on electrical architecture and cooling technologies. Both new construction and retrofitting of existing centres are emphasized to incorporate seamless, advanced technologies. The commercial real estate sector anticipates that data centres will become a significant growth area over the next two years.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
For Canadian builders, this means that the demand for skilled labor capable of integrating smart technology in building construction and retrofitting will likely increase. The push for smarter data centres also indicates potential government incentives or funding opportunities aimed at fostering the adoption of sustainable and efficient building practices. Builders may need to adapt their timelines and project planning to accommodate advanced technological requirements and ensure collaboration with tech solution providers.
