Carbon, Containment & Change: Building Greener Data Centers with Mass Timber

Reshaping the Energy Landscape

Power is quickly becoming the defining constraint of the AI era. As data center demand accelerates and generative AI drives a hockey-stick curve in electricity consumption, the question isn’t just how we generate more power — it’s how we use it more intelligently. In this session from Yotta 2025, DatacenterDynamics’ Alex Dickins sits down with David Chernis, Director of Flexible Compute Platforms at CPower, to explore how flexible demand, AI workloads, and grid participation could reshape the energy landscape for digital infrastructure. From spiky inference loads to demand response markets and the concept of being a “good grid citizen,” this conversation looks at how the data center industry can unlock new capacity while supporting the grid.

From Ground Break to Go-Live

As demand for digital infrastructure accelerates, the pressure to deliver complex data center projects on time, on budget and at scale has never been higher. Avicado, a leading digital project management consultancy, empowers owners and developers with the tools, processes and insights needed to streamline project delivery across the data center lifecycle. In this podcast, Avicado will demonstrate how integrating program management platforms and data-driven workflows can reduce risk, improve collaboration and accelerate time to market.

Carbon, Containment & Change: Building Greener Data Centers with Mass Timber

Join DPR Construction for an in-depth analysis on data centers and mass timber, led by BrightWorks Sustainability Principal Josh Hatch. Joined by Erik Kneer, SE, LEED AP, Strategic Initiatives Leader at GPLA and Scott Brown, National Mass Timber Specialist at DPR Construction, they’ll unpack the unprecedented pace and scale of data center development, the overlooked carbon story of how construction materials can have as much of a sustainable impact as operations, and how mass timber is a real-world application for the next generation of digital infrastructure.

Liquid Cooling: Where We Are and Where We’re Going

Discover how the next wave of digital infrastructure is being built on water. In this podcast spotlight, Kat Sullivan of DatacenterDynamics speaks with Gabe Andrews, VP of Operations at Nautilus, and Agustin Roca, VP of Product, about their pioneering waterborne data center platform and its potential to transform the environmental impact of traditional facilities. From zero-water-consumption cooling to dramatically improved energy efficiency, this is a must-listen for anyone tracking the future of sustainable compute.

All Energy Is Good Energy

Senior Content Director Sarah Zilonis sat down with Natalie Johns, Alternative Energy Director at Dudley Land Company, for a conversation on renewables, land policy, mineral rights, regulatory changes, and successfully aligning projects with communities through meaningful engagement and education.
