Start Campus‘ first operational facility at its SINES Data Campus, SIN01, has achieved a certification at gold tier from one of the world’s most widely recognised standards for sustainable building design and construction.
SIN01 is the first building within the 1.2GW SINES Data Campus, a hyperscale development designed to support the next generation of cloud and AI-scale digital infrastructure.
The certification in question is LEED Gold BD+C v4, awarded by the US Green Building Council (USGBC) and verified by Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI). Inéria, LEED’s consultancy partner, also supported the process.
The success of a project is measured by its energy efficiency, water usage, materials selection and indoor environmental quality. SIN01 achieved 75 points, placing it at the upper range of the LEED Gold certification tier.
The 1.2GW campus, which is currently Europe’s largest AI data centre, applys 100% renewable energy and seawater cooling, having also recently announced their partnership with Energias De Portugal (EDP) for its broader sustainability goals.
