German company offers to heat use servers for heating apartments





If you remember, why we need a cloud server, then the last thing that comes to mind is using them to generate heat. Currently, heat emanating during operation of the equipment is completely unused energy that simply evaporates into the air.

The German company Cloud & Heat has developed a methodology that combines cloud-based servers and is able to competently use the heat emanating from them. By and large, the company simply allows you to store a home server, the warmth of which will go to providing hot water and heating.

The cost of installing a single server is about $ 15,000. At first glance, this seems like a lot, but for the money you get 15 years of free heat utilization from the server. According to the resource digitaltrends, prices for hot water and heating in Germany are among the highest, however, in any case, each consumer must calculate whether it is effective server installation.

In the summer when no need for heating, the server can be taken out of the apartment. Users will also be able to combine conventional heating system and hot water with heat obtained from the server. Of course, in this case, you will have to pay twice.

It is worth noting that the French company Qarnot also working to create such a technology, however, according to them, they plan to reach their goal in 2-3 years.
