Definition
Heat Recovery is a process that captures waste heat generated by data center operations and reuses it for other applications, improving overall energy efficiency.
Instead of releasing excess heat into the environment, heat recovery systems convert thermal energy into a useful resource.
Why It Matters
Data centers generate significant amounts of heat, especially as computing density increases.
Heat recovery enables organizations to:
- Improve energy utilization
- Reduce waste heat emissions
- Increase sustainability
- Support low-carbon infrastructure goals
