Lokstallen
This industrial building is used both as a maintenance facility for train units and as a storage site for heavy materials from the local ore mine. In the past, heating the building was economically unfeasible, forcing employees to work in winter conditions as cold as -35 °C. Since the installation of the datacenter, however, ample heat is available and staff now enjoy a comfortable indoor climate.
Kimek Basen
This spacious facility is used by several companies as a storage and logistics hub, including the local postal service for its trucks. It also houses multiple office spaces. Previously, the building was heated with infrared panels, where the electricity consumed was used solely to produce heat. Since the installation of the datacenter and a water-based heating system, the same electricity now provides both heat for the building and computing power — an efficient dual use.
Nothing Hill
This impressive 22.500 m² building was previously heated with a 1,2 MW electric boiler combined with an oil-fired boiler. Since the installation of an advanced 2,6 MW datacenter, which delivers heat at an impressive outlet temperature of 72 °C, the building is now heated fully electrically. The electricity used is therefore serving a dual purpose: both for data processing and for heating. And all of this without major modifications or additional investments in the building.
Swimming Pool
We designed an innovative heating system for a swimming pool in the Netherlands, integrating a 200 kW water-cooled server rack to deliver 194 kWth at 70 °C into a 76 m³ buffer tank that feeds the pool’s heating infrastructure. The system, distributed over two server racks, ensures efficient heat transfer. This sustainable solution replaces gas-based heating, saving approximately 356 m³ of natural gas per day and reducing CO₂ emissions by 328 tons per year.
Emerging Sectors and Projects
A selection of upcoming projects includes fish farms and drying facilities, as well as applications in the paper, styrofoam, and dairy industries, along with laundries. Hotels, swimming pools, saunas, and a wide range of large buildings are also on the roadmap.
