“The data center, built by IT firm Academica and scheduled to go live in January, will capture heat from computer servers and use it to warm Finnish homes via a network of water-heated pipes. Academica’s data center, which the company claims is the greenest in existence, will use just half the energy of a typical data center, provide heat for 500 homes, and save Academica approximately $563,000 each year on power. […] Eventually, Google might trump the Finnish company with a super-green data center of its own. The search giant filed a patent last year for a floating data center that uses ocean water to stay cool and wave energy to power on-board computers.”
