IBM>> was involved in a pioneering project in Switzerland (specifically in Uitikon, near Zurich) around 2008, where waste heat from a GIB-Services AG data center, built by IBM in a former military bunker, was used to heat a public swimming pool.
Key Details of the Swiss Project:Location: Uitikon, Switzerland.Mechanism: Hot air generated by the servers was transferred through heat exchangers to warm the water of a nearby municipal pool.
Capacity: The setup could heat the pool while also producing enough energy to heat roughly 80 homes.
