Abstract

Heat emitted from data centres can be harnessed to improve energy efficiency and profitability and water is an ideal heat storage medium. With huge quantities of pool water and showers that need heating, plus huge air-filled spaces within the buildings that must be warm, swimming pools are an ideal consumer of data centre heat. These facilities are also normally open daily beyond the hours of 9am to 5pm, hence swimming pools use much more hot water and need heating for longer than office buildings.
