Terrence and Lesley Bridges’ garden shed holds more than tools. As part of an experimental program the couple have a mini data-center to help heat their home. The HeatHub system runs off electricity paid for by the end user and the Bridges get to recycle the excess heat generated. Win-win?
Via BBC:
The HeatHub was developed by Thermify and is part of UK Power Networks’ SHIELD project, which aims to come up with innovative ways for low-income households to transition to net zero.
Thermify co-founder and CEO Travis Theune says the Bridges’ HeatHub will eventually be part of a “remote and distributed” data centre, involving many units processing data for customers.
While not designed for the heavy processing needed for artificial intelligence, Mr Theune says the system could run things like apps or analyse large volumes of data.
