Trends in Data Center Construction and Operation
Data center construction is undergoing change. New regulatory requirements, rising energy prices, growing digitalization pressure, and technological innovations are fundamentally changing the industry. Today, the focus is not only on efficiency and availability but increasingly on sustainability, scalability, and technological flexibility. These developments are shaping modern data center construction and presenting operators with new challenges.
Energy Efficiency as an Innovation Driver
Energy efficiency is no longer a secondary aspect – it has become a core strategic requirement. With legal requirements such as the German Energy Efficiency Act (EnEfG), which mandates a maximum PUE value of 1.3 for new data centers from 2026, the topic is more in focus than ever before.
According to a study by Bitkom, 64% of surveyed companies state that they consider environmental friendliness and sustainability when selecting a data center (German Datacenter Report).
Therefore, operators are investing in modern cooling systems, intelligent energy distribution, and waste heat recovery – not only to comply with regulations but also to reduce costs and position themselves as sustainable providers. Innovations such as liquid cooling, immersion cooling, or modular construction concepts are direct responses to this development.
Technological Trends
Hyperscale and Modular Data Centers
Large cloud and platform providers are focusing on hyperscale concepts designed for maximum automation, efficiency, and fail-safety. In parallel, modular data centers are gaining importance – they can be built faster and expanded flexibly.
Edge Computing
With the increasing interconnection of devices and the shift of data processing to the edge of the network, the importance of edge data centers is growing. These smaller, decentralized units enable data processing with minimal latency – important for IoT, autonomous driving, or industrial applications.
Immersion Cooling and Liquid Cooling
New cooling technologies are gaining importance. Especially for performance-intensive applications such as AI or high-performance computing, they enable significantly more efficient heat dissipation and help manage the increasing energy density per rack.
Automation and AI in Operations
The use of AI-supported monitoring and automated control greatly simplifies data center operations. Predictive maintenance, dynamic load management, and smart energy control increase efficiency and reduce the risk of failures.
Sustainability Through Waste Heat Utilization
Feeding data center waste heat into municipal heating networks or neighboring buildings is increasingly becoming both an obligation and an opportunity. It contributes to local decarbonization and significantly improves the overall energy balance of operations.
