Data Center Trends in Europe – Part 1: Residential Heat and Sustainability

Data Center Trends in Europe – Part 1: Residential Heat and Sustainability

„Data Center Trends in Europe“ is a new series of webinars initiated by DDA and eco. We would like to discuss current issues for data center operators with industry experts on a regulary base.

In times of COVID-19 the general public is becoming more and more aware of how important digital infrastructure has become for our private and professional lives. It is important to note, however, that large data centers in particular are very energy-efficient and now only require a fraction of the electricity consumed for cooling, for example.

The following measures are required to promote the utilization of waste heat in data centers in the future:

• Data center operators must be more and better informed about existing possibilities for waste heat utilization.
• Further possibilities for the use of waste heat must be developed, e.g. in the area of agriculture, vertical farming or residental heat.
• The technical systems for the utilization of waste heat must be further improved.
• And, last but not least, the political, social, and economic framework conditions must be further improved so that the use of waste heat is promoted more. We want to discuss these and other current issues together with our infrastructure experts in an interactive chat.

Moderators:
• Stijn Grove, Dutch Data Center Association
• Roland Broch, eco – Association of the Internet Industry

Our Webinar Experts are:
• Erik Barentsen, Durch Data Center Association
