Market Growth Stage
Pace of Market Growth
Emerging Technologies
Liquid Cooling Technologies
Advanced liquid cooling solutions, including direct-to-chip and immersion cooling, are becoming critical for high-density data centers to improve energy efficiency and thermal management.
AI/ML for Data Center Optimization
Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms are being increasingly used to optimize energy consumption, predict failures, and enhance operational efficiency in real-time within data centers.
Modular & Prefabricated Data Centers
The adoption of modular and prefabricated data center designs is accelerating deployment, reducing construction waste, and enabling more efficient, scalable, and sustainable infrastructure.
Impactful Policy Frameworks
U.S. Data Center Energy Optimization Act (Proposed)
This proposed legislation aims to establish national energy efficiency standards and provide incentives for data centers to adopt sustainable technologies and practices, including reporting requirements.
This act could mandate higher efficiency standards, increasing demand for Northshore's optimization services and Seastack platform for compliance and reporting.
California AB 1374 (2023)
California Assembly Bill 1374 requires large businesses, including many data center operators, to publicly disclose their greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) by 2026.
This policy directly increases the need for Northshore's 'Inform' pillar services, especially data collection, reporting, and compliance tools like Seastack, to help clients accurately measure and disclose emissions.
EPA's Refrigerant Management Program (2017 amendments, ongoing enforcement)
The U.S. EPA's Section 608 of the Clean Air Act regulates the management of refrigerants, including those used in data center cooling systems, requiring proper handling, leak repair, and recordkeeping.
This regulation makes Northshore's refrigerant compliance management feature within Seastack highly valuable for data center operators to avoid penalties and ensure environmental stewardship.
