Commercial Heating & Cooling

NREL's new high performance computer data center will reside in the Energy Systems Integration Facility, which is currently under construction. The data center will reuse about 70 percent of the waste heat from the computer systems as its primary source of heat for the offices and lab space -- and excess heat will also be used to warm adjacent buildings on the NREL campus. <a href="http://energy.gov/articles/partnering-create-energy-efficient-data-center">Learn more about one of the world's most efficient data centers.</a>
