A Guide to Datathermics explains how waste heat from data centers can be used as a local heat source. The guide is intended for municipalities, heat companies, project developers, and data centers interested in assessing the potential of datathermics.
It covers topics including heat quality, distance and infrastructure, the use of heat pumps, contracts, responsibilities, and financing. The publication also includes case studies from the Netherlands and Denmark. In doing so, it provides insight into the technical, organizational, and financial conditions required to turn available data center heat into a viable heating project and incorporate it into local heating plans.
