Mauro points to a practical example:“ Together with the developer and the local community, we designed a system using advanced Trane heat pumps that recovers virtually 100 % of the facility’ s waste heat.”
This recovered energy can be redistributed through district heating networks, supporting residential and commercial needs while improving overall system efficiency. Such approaches position data centres not only as energy consumers but as active participants in broader energy ecosystems.
Enhanced thermal management reference designs have achieved close to a 10 % increase in performance, freeing up significant cooling capacity for additional IT workloads without increasing overall energy consumption
