In this type of heat generation, hot water is not produced on site in the building itself, but in a central power or heating plant nearby. You can find out how this works, what advantages it brings in terms of costs and sustainability, and what needs to be considered when it comes to district heating pipelines in our blog.</p> <h2></h2>

With a predicted 463 exabytes of data processed per day by 2025, <a href="https://www.aquatherm.de/en/solutions-products/applications/data-centre-cooling/">cooling</a> will become the dominant operating cost factor and the key technical issue for any new investment.</p>

Many future topics are now gradually becoming mandatory: CO₂ balances in the energy performance certificate, the phase-out of fossil heating systems, zero-emission standards for new buildings and digital building models for every project.</p>

This means that CO₂ emissions are to be completely reduced to zero by 2050. But this requires much greater efforts than before. In the field of <a href="https://www.districtenergy.org/home">district heating</a>, the energy efficiency of existing solutions must not only be quickly optimised, but also switched to<a href="https://www.districtenergy.org/resources/industry-news"> renewable heat sources</a>, e.g. bioenergy, solar thermal energy, large-scale heat pumps and geothermal energy. In addition, the integration of secondary heat sources, such as waste heat from industrial plants and data centres, must be promoted.</p> <p>However, it is not only heat generation that poses major challenges; <a href="https://www.plasticpipe.org/BuildingConstruction/BuildingConstruction/-Applications-/DistrictEnergy-Heating-Cooling.aspx">pipeline networks </a>must also enable rapid but sustainable conversion and expansion with flexible solutions. Compared to metal systems, plastic pipes have clear advantages to offer in order to achieve the ambitious goals. The best example of this is the pre-insulated polypropylene piping system <a href="https://www.aquatherm.de/en/solutions-products/products/aquatherm-energy/">aquatherm energy</a>.</p>

With this type of heat generation, hot water is not produced on site in the building itself, but in a central power or heating plant nearby.</p>

Deciding which method is best suited for the future raises important questions. For instance, how much heat is produced by a data centre operating 24/7 to handle AI applications, cloud services, and real-time data streams? And how can this waste heat be efficiently removed without increasing overall energy consumption?</p> <h2></h2>
