Description
As the global energy demand of data centers continues to increase, reducing their environmental impacts has become a major challenge. This presentation provides an environmental assessment of the LHCb data centers using a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach, in line with CERN’s sustainability objectives. The presentation will include the contribution of the different components of the data centers and a comparison of several data center cooling systems currently in development or already deployed in the LHCb experiment. The objective is to assess the environmental impacts associated with these systems and to identify the main contributors to the overall environmental performance of the infrastructure.
