Tech infrastructure company Aligned Data Centers – which focuses on offering sustainable, adaptive scale data centers and build-to-scale solutions for global hyperscale and enterprise customers – announced that its Salt Lake Metro Area data center has received “Green Globes” for new construction certification from the Green Building Initiative (GBI).
Aligned’s SLC-03 hyperscale data center received a rating of Three Green Globes for its design and construction, demonstrating success in resource efficiency and environmental impact reduction.
“We are honored that the GBI once again has conferred Three Green Globes certification to one of our hyperscale data centers in recognition of its sustainable design and innovative technologies that significantly improve energy and water efficiency,” said Andrew Schaap, the CEO of Aligned. “Sustainability is not static, but a dynamic process that continues for the lifetime of a facility. As the surge in AI and high-performance computing gives rise to greater data center demand, our teams are committed to remaining vigilant in managing the planet’s resources for the benefit of our customers, employees, investors and communities.”
Aligned’s SLC-03 hyperscale data center is one of four the company completed in the Salt Lake City metro area.
GBI’s third-party final assessment report recognized Aligned for its integrated design approach “with total dedication to sustainability at every phase and with every partner in the design and construction” of the project. Aligned’s PHX-04, ORD-01, and ORD-02 data centers in Phoenix and Chicago, respectively, were also awarded Three Green Globes in recognition of their outstanding achievements in sustainable design and construction.
“Aligned continues to demonstrate sustainable design excellence, leadership, and accountability with Green Globes certification,” said Vicki Worden, GBI’s president and CEO. “GBI is proud to support Aligned’s commitment. It is one that is radiating through the industry to design, deliver, and occupy sustainable and resilient data centers.”
