How wasted heat from data centers could heat homes and buildings
Waste heat from a data center at the University of Edinburgh is at the heart of an innovative project, funded by the Scottish Government, which shows how Scotland could decarbonise its public buildings, but also its homes and offices.
On the roof of the James Clerk Maxwell building on the King’s Buildings campus, boxes connected to a data center far below in its basement pump warm out into the air of a sunny day. A new £2 million project aims to ensure that heat, now lost, will replace gas as the source of the on-site heating network. The scheme is one of seven public sector projects across Scotland which will receive shares from a £20 million fund, and demonstrates the potential of using waste heat to heat homes.
