- Deep Green’s nearby Data Center uses oil to capture and transfer heat, saving energy costs.
- An Amazon Data Center in Dublin reuses excess heat to heat the Technological University and local offices.
- This system in Dublin reduces CO2 emissions by 60% and heats various public and commercial buildings.
The utilization of hot air, which is typically considered a waste product, is now being harnessed for positive purposes, resulting in cost and carbon savings within local communities. Although there is still progress to be made in promoting these initiatives on a larger scale, their increasing acceptance is encouraging, and Sureworks strongly advocates for them.
