Almost everything we do today, including you reading this right now, involves a Data Centre (DC). As a result, DCs will consume 10% of TOTAL global electricity by 2030, producing 1.8Gt CO2 p.a., far more than aviation (Shift,2022). Because they generate vast amounts of heat, 40% of their energy is used for cooling, with heat expelled into the atmosphere (Clarke Energy). Capturing this heat represents a significant opportunity for the sector to increase efficiency, reduce costs and generate new revenue streams. Meanwhile, the UK is enduring an acute energy crisis, with average bills increasing by \>100% in 2022\. Urgent solutions are needed to increase home energy efficiency but costs remain prohibitive.Addressing both issues, Bit Warmer (trading as 'heata') has developed a disruptive technology that reimagines the DC as a network of distributed cloud-computing nodes inside people's homes. heata units are fitted onto domestic water cylinders via a thermal contact plate and wired into the immersion spur to heat water (using a British Gas-approved, 'no-plumbing' process). Using broadband, each unit connects into our network, and using proprietary software, BW accesses this network to run cloud services, using the resulting heat to warm the water in the cylinder. By using energy 'twice' (once for processing, once for heating), we deliver a step-change in compute efficiency while reducing energy bills by up to £450 per year per household.heata is on the journey to becoming a SAP-accredited energy efficiency measure, having been working alongside the BRE for the last year. This project would enable us to continue this work to submit our final application next year, in tandem with investigating our requirements under PAS 2030/35\.

我们今天所做的几乎所有事情，包括您正在阅读的这篇文章，都涉及到数据中心（DC）。因此，到2030年，DCs将消耗全球总电力的10%，每年产生18亿吨二氧化碳，远远超过航空业（Shift,2022）。因为它们产生大量的热量，40%的能量用于冷却，热量被排放到大气中（克拉克能源）。捕获这些热量对该行业来说是一个提高效率、降低成本和创造新收入来源的重要机会。与此同时，英国正在经历一场严重的能源危机，到2022年，平均账单将增长100亿英镑。迫切需要解决方案来提高家庭能源效率，但成本仍然令人望而却步。为了解决这两个问题，Bit warm（交易名称为“heat”）开发了一种颠覆性的技术，将数据中心重新想象为人们家中的分布式云计算节点网络。加热装置通过热接触板安装在家用水瓶上，并连接到浸入式刺激上加热水（使用英国天然气公司批准的“无管道”工艺）。使用宽带，每个单元都连接到我们的网络，并使用专有软件，BW访问该网络来运行云服务，使用产生的热量来加热钢瓶中的水。通过“两次”使用能源（一次用于加工，一次用于加热），我们在计算效率方面实现了阶段性变化，同时每户每年可减少高达450英镑的能源费用。在过去的一年里，heata一直与BRE合作，正在努力成为一项获得sap认证的能效措施。该项目将使我们能够继续这项工作，并在明年提交最终申请，同时调查我们在PAS 2030/35\下的要求。
