Data Centers In High Rises Is A Thing, Just Saying

FYI. A standard commercial building must be retrofitted beyond 80 PSF to support data center needs. This includes the extreme weight, utility resources that come with a functional facility. Your standard office buildings has to be retrofitted to at least 200 PSF to handle servers, batteries, etc to provide both structural and fire-rated spacing.

So anyone trying to slip a data center in a residential high-rise to offset costs and undermine health of its residents, would need to consider the steel beams, carbon fiber wraps, or extra concrete columns that have to be added to raise the floor capacity from standard office limits and prevent crushing.

But, we’re just talking about theticals, not actual hypertheticals.
