Data centers are the silent powerhouses of the digital world—but did you know they’re also giant heaters? Nearly all the electricity data centers use turns into heat. Instead of letting it go to waste, why not put it to good use? Heat reuse systems capture this excess energy and repurpose it for things like heating buildings, powering industrial processes, and even growing algae in greenhouses. Yep, your data center could help heat a pool or dry wood for construction. Let’s look at why this matters.
Why Heat Reuse Matters
Heat reuse isn’t just about saving energy—it’s about efficiency and environmental responsibility. Whether it’s heating nearby offices in the winter or helping farmers clean equipment, these systems lower emissions and cut costs for everyone involved.
Did you know that there are new EU regulations, and data centers within the EU may soon be required to implement heat recovery systems. You may be wondering why this regulation matters to you, within the USA. Historically, the US follows suit when it comes to environmental regulations so it’s only a matter of time before the US begins looking at heat reuse as a requirement.
Challenges and Solutions
Heat reuse is complicated. Factors like nearby demand, the distance to where the heat will be used, and upfront costs affect how successful the implementation is. But with careful planning and help from experts (like us), it’s entirely possible to turn wasted heat into a revenue-generating or cost-saving asset. Partners, like Submer are already seeing ROI with their solutions and have been able to reuse saved energy on other applications. Whether it’s retrofitting your current setup or implementing monitoring software for smarter heat management, the opportunities are endless. Even if you’re only looking to gather data and analyze airflow, EkkoSense will do the trick.
