Panel: Understanding Current Cooling Infrastructure Constraints & Capacity to Support AI Driven Thermal Demands
10:30 am
- Understanding the limitations of current cooling performance for higher heat loads to identify areas for retrofit
- Understanding routing and operational limitations that can impact cooling system upgrades and complicate installation in live environments
- Exploring differences between standardization vs customisation in liquid cooling retrofits
Wednesday 2nd December 2026
Panel: Strengthening Initial Project Planning Across Design, Construction & Operations Teams to Improve Early Decision Making & De-Risk Projects
11:20 am
- Investigating how to develop integrated project delivery approaches that bring project teams together early to identify feasibility issues before design begins
- Learning how to align stakeholders by understanding the different priorities and responsibilities between operations, construction and design teams to reduce delays and scope creep from the start
- Discussing best practices for planning and communication to reduce misalignment and ensure retrofit projects are sequenced, reviewed and agreed collaboratively
Wednesday 2nd December 2026
Panel: Evaluating Existing Space Constraints to Ensure New Equipment Integrates with Legacy Infrastructure Layouts
2:00 pm
- Creating retrofit layouts that maximize available space while accommodating new equipment, cooling systems and routing requirements within existing facility constraints
- Coordinating equipment sizing, access pathways and installation sequencing early to reduce fitment issues and prevent deployment delays
- Assessing how legacy building layouts, freight access limitations and confined space impact equipment selection, installation flexibility and long-term maintainability
