Webinar:  District Energy, Data Centers & Sustainability:  The Story of Seattle, Amazon and the Denny Triangle Neighborhood
Wednesday | July 16, 2025 | 12:00pm – 1:00pm EDT

 
 
Please join the Northern Virginia Regional Commission (NVRC), Wednesday, July 16, 12:00pm to 1:00pm (EDT), for a webinar that will share the story of Amazon’s work in the Denny Triangle neighborhood in Seattle to recycle waste heat from data centers via district energy.  Tom Marseille, PE, of Sazan, will give an overview of his involvement with the design, planning and construction of the project as well as share insights into the project’s budgeting and operations.  District energy is emerging as a viable means to promote sustainable energy under Virginia’s “all-the-above” approach to energy policy - especially for data center-rich regions such as Northern Virginia. Moreover, local governments have multiple tools to plan, design and operate district energy systems in tandem with other sustainable energy applications. This webinar aspires to explore how Seattle’s experiences with data centers and district energy could inform equivalent projects in Northern Virginia.
