Meeting the Better Buildings Challenge
In 2014, Digital Realty became one of the first data center providers to participate in the Better Buildings Challenge, a U.S. Department of Energy initiative to reduce power consumption. Our goal was to make our buildings 20 percent more energy efficient by 2024 (against a 2013 baseline). By the end of 2016 we had achieved that target, several years ahead of schedule.
Today, we continue strengthening our commitment to energy conservation and expect to see continued progress across our portfolio as we expand our goals.
