The data centre industry is searching for new routes to sustainability and one way is to capture waste heat and reuse it in other buildings, either to produce hot water or in larger-scale heat networks.  As a result, a new metric has emerged as a critical benchmark: the Energy Reuse Factor (ERF), which measures how effectively a data centre recycles and reuses its waste energy for purposes outside its primary operations. This is opening the way to a more sustainable future for data centres, underlining their role in the broader context of climate neutrality and energy efficiency. As society aims to decarbonise heat and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels, data centres have a real opportunity to be part of a low-carbon future. The technology to achieve this already exists in the form of advanced, modern heating and cooling systems that make the reuse of data centre waste heat much more achievable.
