Speed, Carbon & Failure: The Material Decisions That Make-or-Break Data Centers
9:10 am
- Examining why data centers miss schedules – and how incompatible building envelope, waterproofing, and movement-control systems quietly create leaks, rework, and long-term risk in mission-critical facilities
- Exploring engineering-backed strategies to improve energy performance and resilience using advanced Solar Roofing and Insulated Panel Roofing systems
- Understanding how LEED v5 has changed the rules: Decarbonization now accounts for ~50% of total scoring – how owners, consultants, and contractors can turn sustainability requirements into faster approvals and lower delivery risk
- Navigating low-carbon concrete and flooring technologies that reduce curing time, cut GWP by 50%+, and deliver 10,000-psi ESD / clean-room–certified performance
