This site was built and is hosted using a variety of sustainable technologies.  This is possible through the use of standards paved by Microsoft’s GFS Infrastructure Services Team.  This includes the use of highly efficient servers powered by advanced data centers, which combine both responsible energy consumption standards and alternative energy sources.  These data centers harness electricity through wind and hydroelectric technologies. 

Data centers which host websites like this often use up to 30 times more electricity than corporate office buildings of like size.  Because of this they are high on the list of worst infrastructures for the environment.  In order to improve this it is important that engineers design more efficient structures and technologies including: Server and chip development, power and cooling systems, electrical and mechanical engineering for the data center. 

The data center used to host this website is guaranteed to meet or exceed the standards listed above.
