Energy efficiency and residual heat

Energy efficiency and sustainability were key consideration in the design of the Biel data center – ensuring it always operates at peak energy efficiency. Our location runs on 100% hydro power, whilst the heat generated in the data center is used to provide heating to surrounding buildings. The local heat network and nearby businesses also use residual heat from the data center. Added to this, residual heat is also used to keep our emergency power generators at operating temperature.
