8th May 2025 — EkkoSense, a global leader in the provision of AI-powered data center optimization software, has partnered with Green Building Initiative (GBI) – the non-profit organization whose mission is to improve the built environment’s impact on climate and society. As a selected GBI partner EkkoSense will showcase how its 3D visualization, analytics and ESG reporting software plays a key role in enabling data center sustainability and supporting GBI’s Green Globes certification program.
Green Globes is a federally-recognized three-in-one certification system and is the premier choice for data centers due to its unparalleled support, transparency, and flexibility features. EkkoSense’s EkkoSoft Critical 3D visualization solution helps data center operators minimize cooling energy usage and costs, remove thermal and power risk, and support corporate ESG and sustainability programs through quantifiable carbon savings.
EkkoSense is also a leading sponsor for GBI’s upcoming “Better Buildings: Data Center Seminar” taking place at The Dalcy in Chicago on May 15th. The event will bring together data center designers, owners and operators to share innovative strategies to improve the sustainability and resilience of data centers during a time of unprecedented demand.
“GBI is supporting the rapidly growing data center industry through education and Globes assessment, allowing data centers to evaluate and improve performance. Even incremental change can have a monumental impact – every kilowatt saved matters, ” said Megan Baker, GBI’s Vice President of Engagement.” “We’re delighted to have EkkoSense as a GBI member and sponsor – particularly as we encourage Green Globes data center operators to reassess every three to five years. Our users will be keen to take advantage of key features such as EkkoSense’s automated ESG reporting to streamline this process.”
“Measurement and reporting are critical components of any ESG initiative, and the distinctive EkkoSoft Critical 3D visualization software gives operations teams a single pane view and true real-time insight into their data center’s ongoing power, cooling and capacity performance,” added Steve Lewis, Vice President of Americas for EkkoSense. “Factor in automated ESG reporting, and EkkoSoft Critical can be a great way for data center teams to track sustainability as part of their Green Globes certification.”
