The vast data centers that power artificial intelligence are so energy hungry that they’re heating up their surroundings, according to new research. It’s an alarming finding given the number of data centers is predicted to explode over the next few years.
Can they capture that heat and recycle it to partially power the site?
Not really, it’s only useful if you intentionally capture it at the point of heat and Transfer that in a liquid still hot to take it a central point, by the time the fans cool of and the heat is pumped out the building it’s too dispersed to use. Unless you’re in a cold area and low grade heat can be used for warming.
