Data centres inevitably produce a lot of waste heat. The trick is ensuring that this does not go to waste. Here’s one way to do it. Use it to heat a swimming pool, saving the energy cost of heating it conventionally. Cooling an ice rink would also do nicely. Community facilities which are struggling because of energy costs might find a new lease of life!
