  I’ve thought about that, actually. Could you use waste heat from a datacenter to, say, heat water for a laundromat or something?

    We’re currently using waste heat in Denmark from data centres (and other industry including power plants, CHP - Combined Heat & Power) in district heating. Heat up the water and pump it down pipes to people’s homes.

    My home is for example heated up primarily by a cement factory, a CHP plant, and a waste incinerator.

    You would think a laundromat would use waste heat from the dryers to heat their wash water (or even the room) but I’ve never seen that.
