As rack densities increase, traditional air-cooling approaches are reaching their limits. Advanced liquid and hybrid cooling systems are enabling higher efficiency while reducing energy consumption and supporting AI-driven workloads. This workshop examines the technical and construction requirements for deploying next-generation cooling systems without delaying project delivery.

• Designing cooling and power systems for Texas heat conditions, reducing peak power demand to maximize available IT load and avoid stranding power capacity
• Utilizing prefabricated manifolds, HACs, skids, and electrical modules from regional vendors to minimize onsite labor, address workforce shortages and accelerate deployment
• Planning for grid curtailment requirements under Texas SB-6, ensuring mechanical systems can handle on/off events while evaluating solutions such as BESS and retrofit strategies for legacy data center sites
