heata - SAP Accreditation Stage 5b

我们今天所做的几乎所有事情，包括您阅读这篇文章，都涉及数据中心（DC）。因此，到2030年，发展中国家将消耗全球总电力的10%，每年产生1.8Gt二氧化碳，远远超过航空业（转变，2022）。由于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）。抓住这一热点是该行业提高效率、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，平均账单将增加100%。迫切需要解决方案来提高家庭能源效率，但成本仍然过高。为了解决这两个问题，Bit Warmer（交易名称为“heata”）开发了一种颠覆性技术，将DC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罐上，并连接到浸入式支线上以加热水（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访问这个网络来运行云服务，使用产生的热量来加热气缸中的水。通过“两次”使用能源（一次用于处理，一次用于加热），我们实现了计算效率的逐步变化，同时每个家庭每年减少高达450英镑的能源账单。heata正在成为SAP认证的能源效率措施，去年一直与BRE合作。这个项目将使我们能够继续这项工作，明年提交我们的最终申请，同时调查我们在PAS 2030/35\下的要求。

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\.
