Using servers to heat your home sounds like a weird idea. But that’s exactly what this British company offers.
If data centers are particularly energy-intensive, they also have the special feature that they heat up enormously. This also accounts for a large part of the CO² impact on the environment. In this context, certain methods stand out that also offer profit-sharing in the development of this type of infrastructure.
A method of saving energy and, above all, heating
This is where British society comes in heat which has just launched a brand new cloud comput ing system through the channel that can be installed in homes. Everything, of course, is directly connected to water heaters, which are used to cool the servers and at the same time heat the water intended for consumption. A smart way to reduce energy consumption and heat water for free.
The company thus guarantees a daily feed-in of at least 2.5 kWh. If the water is too hot to cool down properly, the server just sits idle. The big positive is that the entire installation of Heata is done in less than two hours. The household electricity is then consumed and paid by the company at 10% above the market price. This could save up to £200 a year, which is far from negligible.
Damage payment ?
The other side of the coin (because you always need one) is that residents’ internet connection is used to communicate with the outside world. Even if the most massive use of bandwidth should happen in the middle of the night. Subsequently, Heata plans to provide 5G (or fiber optic) connectivity to solve the problem.
