Energy efficiency and residual heat

The Münchenstein data centers were designed and built according to the most modern standards for energy efficiency. Added to this, the data centers run on 100% green energy, with the heat generated in the data center used to provide heating to surrounding buildings. The local heat network and nearby businesses also use residual heat from the data center, which is also used to keep our emergency power generators at operating temperature.
