Imagine a giant computer that gets so hot it needs a massive air conditioner to keep from melting. Instead of just blowing that heat outside, this system captures it and uses it to warm the rest of the building. It's like using the heat from your oven to warm your living room, but for massive server farms.
Data centers in commercial buildings generate massive amounts of waste heat that is usually expensive to cool and throw away. This creates high energy bills and environmental inefficiency.
A hybrid liquid/air cooling hardware system and a digital twin management system. They also created a self-assessment tool for building energy needs and a heat recovery algorithm.
If you are an edge computing provider dealing with high server energy density — this project developed a multi-objective thermal-aware algorithm that reduced cooling load by 53%. This allows for denser hardware placement without overheating.
If you are an office building manager dealing with high heating costs for tertiary buildings — this project developed a waste heat recovery system that improved heat recovery by up to 17%. This turns IT waste into a heating asset.
If you are a hotel operator dealing with the energy demands of guest Wi-Fi and server rooms — this project developed a self-assessment tool for energy management. This helps identify the best pathways to lower energy bills in power-intensive buildings.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or implementation costs are not provided as the project is currently in the validation phase.
The project is testing solutions in diverse environments including a supercomputing research centre and industrial buildings across 5 countries, suggesting a path toward industrial scaling.
Based on available project data, the IP structure is not detailed, but the consortium includes 4 SMEs and a national standardization body to manage exploitation.
It uses an integrated building energy management system that coordinates both the needs of the IT equipment and the people inside the building.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2026-12-31, meaning full results and potential commercial versions will be available after December 2026.
The consortium is highly balanced for commercialization, featuring a 50% industry ratio with 6 industrial partners, including 4 SMEs. With 12 partners across 8 countries and the inclusion of a national standardization body, the project is well-positioned to move from research to regulated market standards.
