“What’s not going to change in the next 10 years?”
.…from JLL’s H2 2023 North American Data Center Report, which explores the big demand for and tight supply of data centers across the U.S.
Data is—and will continue to be—”fundamentally important to our society,” according to a new report from Dallas-based JLL.
The volume of that data our society creates is increasing at a rapid rate—and it’s foundational to how we work, live, and play. ChatGPT alone uses about as much power as 33,000 households, with its hundreds of millions of daily queries, the firm notes.

Some things you just gotta keep cool: your temper on the Tollway at 8:45 a.m., your drink after work, and—maybe we should've put this first—data centers. All those endless rows of servers generate heat, which is why cooling accounts for nearly half of a data center's electricity usage. Now a team led by UT Arlington's Dereje Agonafer is developing hybrid cooling technology that could save "a massive amount of money in energy costs" for both current and future servers.
