Great idea, but only when it’s cold outside…
Now let’s do that with parkings.
DigitalRealty already do this in Glattbrugg. It’s a neat idea for waste heat.
I mean sure, good to at least use the heat, but using electricity to heat has never been the gold standard of energy efficiency, it only makes sense when you have a surplus of clean electricity. And if that’s what makes it „unique“, basically every data center I’ve seen does this already.
Nice to know that a couple of my crappy websites are at least helping to keep some people warm this winter.
I wonder how much of that energy consumption is wasted for pointless AI language models…
