The momentum around measuring the environmental impact of data centers is growing, making it easier for data center operators to understand each location’s carbon footprint.
At the forefront of this movement is data center industry organization Infrastructure Masons (iMasons), which has recently expanded into South America with Brazil-based data center firm Scala signing on to the iMasons Climate Accord (ICA).
The ICA seeks to create an open standard for measurement of global energy consumption by digital infrastructure.
When iMasons first announced the ICA in April 2022, hyperscalers AWS, Google, and Microsoft and global colocation providers Cyxtera, CyrusOne, Digital Realty were among the 73 organizations to commit to driving the reduction of carbon within digital infrastructure.
