The data center’s heat recovery system is an excellent opportunity to heat a greenhouse.
The data center needs to be cooled all year round. Recovered heat can easily be used to heat a greenhouse.
Waste heat from data centers is recovered and repurposed instead of being lost. The recovered heat is used directly to heat the greenhouse.
During the day, when heating requirements are lower, any surplus heat is stored in a water buffer tank for later use. If the buffer tank is unloaded and the recovered heat is insufficient, additional energy is necessary to meet the demand.
