Aligned Data Centers has recently achieved a significant milestone by earning the Three Green Globes certification from the Green Building Initiative (GBI) for its Phoenix facility, known as PHX-06. This accolade sets a high standard for sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) leadership within the digital infrastructure sector.
The Green Globes certification process evaluates multiple criteria, including occupant health, environmental impact, and resource efficiency, under GBI’s Green Globes for New Construction program. Aligned, a key player in hyperscale and enterprise-level digital infrastructure, underscores its commitment to sustainability through this accomplishment.
PHX-06 stands out particularly due to its utilization of 100% renewable energy, advanced cooling technologies, and minimized water usage. These factors significantly contributed to the facility’s commendable results during GBI’s thorough third-party evaluation, which encompasses both off-site analysis and on-site verifications. Aligned’s Adaptive Modular Infrastructure (AMI) – made up of standardized, prefabricated construction modules – was integral to achieving this certification as it promotes quicker deployment while cutting down on construction waste and Scope 3 emissions, aligning with sustainability efforts across the supply chain.
Founded in 2004 and accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), GBI has been at the forefront of promoting sustainable building practices. The Three Green Globes certification indicates exemplary performance across major assessment areas, thus categorizing PHX-06 among the top-performing green buildings.
Vicki Worden, CEO of GBI, praised Aligned for its remarkable achievement. She highlighted the outstanding results in energy efficiency, water conservation, reduction of carbon emissions, and enhancement of occupant health, recognizing Aligned’s leading role in sustainable practices.
This certification reinforces Aligned’s reputation for blending innovation with responsible development, especially in light of rising global demands for AI and high-performance computing infrastructure. CEO Andrew Schaap remarked that the Green Globes certification not only affirms their environmental standards but also reflects Aligned’s capability to deliver scalable, future-ready infrastructure swiftly.
Amid a continuously evolving technological landscape and increasing industry demands, Aligned has distinguished itself as the most certified data center operator under the Green Globes program. The acknowledgment for PHX-06 emphasizes the company’s strategy of embedding sustainable practices into its fundamental operations, setting a precedent for environmentally responsible growth in digital infrastructure.
