Getting to Zero: Faster - Land Use Solutions for Mixed Use Development and Heat Sharing

As campuses and communities grow more complex, integrating energy-intensive uses like data centers with everyday functions becomes essential. This workshop explored how thoughtful land-use planning and HVAC system design can make mixed-use developments more sustainable and efficient. By examining how data centers and central campus systems can share resources, optimize heat and energy flows, and work within broader development patterns, the session offered practical insights for creating resilient, well-integrated built environments.
