At the upcoming Greenbuild International Conference + Expo in Los Angeles, Tommaso Bitossi will speak on the topic, “Reimagining Data Centers: Harnessing Waste Heat for Repurposed Mixed-use Projects. The session will take place on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at the Los Angeles Convention Center, together with Riley Barkis and Grace Ko from Gensler.
The presentation explores how data centers — typically known for their high energy demands — can be reimagined as integral components of sustainable urban environments. By capturing and reusing waste heat, these infrastructures can support local food production, heat mixed-use communities, and contribute to more resilient energy systems, while yielding economic, social, and ecological benefits.
