Dutch households will use servers to heat their showers for free

You know just from using a laptop that computers give off a lot of excess heat. For data centers containing tens of thousands of servers, this is a big problem, wasting energy and money. To try and mitigate this, companies have experimented with moving facilities to near the Arctic Circle and even submerging servers underwater. But Dutch startup Nerdalize has a different approach. Rather than trying to dissipate excess energy from servers, it wants to harness it, using it to heat people’s homes instead.

Enable Sustainable Enterprises of the Future
Did you know that buildings are responsible for 40% of global energy consumption and 33% of greenhouse gas emissions? One way we can help both modernize and increase sustainability in our buildings is by adding 10BASE-T1L to our building controllers. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Salem Gharbi from Analog Devices about how we can enable sustainable enterprises with ethernet connected building controllers. They examine the10BASE-T1L flexible design solutions that Analog Devices offers, how exiting?building infrastructure can take advantage of 10BASE-T1L and how you can get started on your next sustainable enterprise journey.
