With sustainability being at the forefront of industry across the world, CNet has reviewed and updated the content of its Certified Data Centre Sustainability Professional (CDCSP®) program to reflect the latest sector needs and innovations.

London, England, April 24, 2020 -- The Certified Data Centre Sustainability Professional (CDCSP®) program teaches how to create and implement a sustainability strategy for mission critical facilities. The comprehensive program provides in-depth knowledge into the steps required to evaluate, analyse, plan, implement and monitor a sustainability strategy, balanced with operational capability for data centre facilities. The updated and reviewed five-day CDCSP® program dates have been announced and are scheduled in the U.K. and the U.S. It’s an Instructor-led remote attendance program, delivering live and fully interactive classroom learning remotely.

Increased awareness of the urgency to implement and maintain a sustainable future coupled with evolving legislation means that data centre operators are under great pressure to embrace sustainability strategies and improve their ‘green’ credentials rapidly and be able to evidence improvement to stakeholders. The program also teaches how to plan for transformation towards a credible sustainability lifecycle, that demonstrates innovation and challenges business ethos whilst being sensitive to business risk and continuity.

On completion of the program learners will also be able to consider the requirements for compliance and have a full understanding of national and international regulations, codes and standards.

Successful completion of the CDCSP® program also provides the learner with a Level 5 BTEC Award, official CDCSP® certification, use of a post nominal title and a digital badge. The digital badge can be easily shared via social media and can also be downloaded to verify knowledge, skills and certifications gained, it therefore adds valuable credibility to individuals’ professional profiles.

The program forms part of the globally renowned Digital Infrastructure Education Framework which maps technical education programs, official certifications and internationally recognised qualifications to knowledge and career progression routes throughout the industry, providing designations that have become key skills reference points that allow those holding them to demonstrate their ability and experience clearly.

Andrew Stevens, CEO at CNet Training, says, “With the increased urgency to implement and maintain a sustainable future we wanted to ensure the CDCSP® program is compact, but comprehensive, and accessible for data centre professionals who are responsible for sustainability within their facility. The new five-day program provides the in-depth knowledge and skills to create and implement a long-term sustainability strategy within mission critical facilities. More essentially, it also provides the knowledge for individuals, and therefore businesses, to champion a sustainability legacy that can enhance competitive advantage, customer perception and reputation.”

CNet Training is the global leader in designing and delivering network infrastructure and data centre education programs and has been delivering industry education since 1996. CNet is the only industry dedicated education provider in the world to offer both internationally recognised qualifications and official certifications.

The first five-day CDCSP® Remote Attendance program starts 27th April with further dates set throughout 2020.

Avon, MA, April 22, 2020 -- The response to the COVID-19 crisis has led to a number of temporary facilities to take the burden off hospitals and other healthcare facilities. SelecTech, Inc., a leader in the manufacture of innovative flooring products with long-term value and immediate benefits, recently announced its FreeStyle BioLock flooring meets the FDA requirements for flooring used for temporary labs and clinics.

The specific FDA requirement, 21 CFR 211.42 -C 10 (i) requires that “Floors, walls, and ceilings of smooth, hard surfaces that are easily cleanable”. SelecTech’s FreeStyle BioLock meets the FDA requirement of being a durable, hard surface that is easy to clean with anti-microbial, hypochlorite or disinfectant cleaners and can handle being cleaned with auto scrubbers.
 
“The timetable in which these testing labs and clinics are needed makes speed of installation a key component of choosing a floor and other items,” said Thomas Ricciardelli, president of SelecTech, Inc. “Because our floor can be installed over existing flooring with little or no down time or no sub floor prep, it makes it a perfect selection for temporary or permanent lab and healthcare facilities.”

SelecTech’s FreeStyle BioLock features an interlocking flooring product customized for use in hospitals, cleanrooms, and labs. BioLock utilizes a water-proof seam sealer that makes tiles liquid-tight but still removable and replaceable. This is a critical feature when you consider that some labs and clinics might be using chemicals that could be damaging if spilled and seeps into flooring.

Additional qualities that make FreeStyle BioLock a superior choice for temporary clinics and hospitals include a urethane, no-wax finish that’s tough, stain resistant and easily maintained and disinfected. BioLock is slip-resistant and conforms to ADA Recommendations (0.70 ASTM D-2047). It also offers superior comfort under foot, enhanced ergonomics, and excellent sound reduction.

From an operations standpoint, BioLock has an abrasion resistance of less than 0.01 gram weight lost ASTM-3389. That means it can easily handle high volumes of traffic: foot or mechanical, wheeled beds, carts, and equipment.

Made with 70 percent recycled materials and 100 percent recyclable, SelecTech flooring products meet CA 1350 Indoor Air Quality and is MAS Certified Green.

“BioLock flooring is also reusable and recyclable.  So, when the temporary need is over, the tiles can either be reused in another location, or recycled back into new BioLock. We offer a take back program to provide the users an easy way to repurpose the tiles when they are done with them and keep them out of the waste stream,” said Ricciardelli. “This is an important consideration when choosing flooring for these temporary facilities. When the need is over, the waste generated from conventional flooring could be overwhelming. BioLock is the most sensible alternative for this type of application.”

To request a sample of SelecTech flooring products, including FreeStyle BioLock, or to learn more about the medical facilities uses for SelecTech products, please call 508-583-3200 or visit www.selectech.com.
