BBISS Insights Series: Demystifying Data Centers - Energy
The Brook Byers Institute for Sustainable Systems (BBISS) is excited to announce the Spring 2026 Insights Series, a three-part virtual panel discussion under the theme “Demystifying Data Centers.”
This series is designed for Georgia Tech faculty interested in exploring research opportunities and needs in the rapidly growing world of data centers — through the lens of sustainability.
Data centers are critical infrastructure powering our digital lives, but their rapid growth brings complex sustainability challenges. From energy consumption and water usage, to community impacts — understanding these tradeoffs is essential for shaping a resilient and responsible future.
We want to help Georgia Tech researchers discover how their expertise can align with the emerging research opportunities. This series will foster interdisciplinary collaboration and spark ideas for innovative solutions.

Each webinar will be 60-90 minutes with 3-5 short talks, followed by discussion and Q&A.
