Reference Designs

Reference Designs is a Workstream under the Heat Reuse Sub-Project of the OCP Cooling Environments Project. The Heat Reuse Sub-Project explores solutions that make it easier to harness data center heat and turn it from a cost into an asset, organized along three topics: reference designs, economics, and policies. This workstream focuses on reference designs for heat reuse. Details about the workstream’s mission and ways to get involved will be added in the near future.

Reference Designs is a Workstream under the Heat Reuse Sub-Project of the Cooling Environments Project.

The Heat Reuse Sub-Project explores solutions that make it easier to harness data center heat and turn it from a cost into an asset; in June 2023 it opened workstreams along three main topics: reference designs, economics, and policies.

This workstream focuses on reference designs for heat reuse.

Details about the workstream’s mission and ways to get involved will be added in the near future.
