Facility Executive
Summary
Across the U.S. and around the world, data centers are multiplying to support an exponential increase in digital demand. Cloud services, streaming platforms, and artificial intelligence applications are driving unprecedented growth in data processing—and in both the amount and temperature of the heat that processing produces. With that growth comes a parallel surge in thermal output and new operational considerations for facility leaders responsible for managing energy use, cooling capacity, and system resilience.
Excess server heat can support district heating, and facilities that plan for heat recovery from the beginning have far more flexibility than those trying to retrofit later, especially when anticipating higher future coolant temperatures driven by AI and high-performance workloads.
