Editing Cooling Environments/Heat Reuse (section)

===Subproject structure===

====MAIN SUBPROJECT CALL: Heat Reuse====
Every 4 weeks, Tuesday 8-9 AM PT // 11-12 AM ET // 5-6 PM CET (see [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XJSZyONA3FZtDtCHIL85R6H3w9-jJvDVlfu3aRYKAJw/edit?usp=sharing Calendar])

:Guest presentations

:Discussion and presentation of the workstreams' results

====WORKSTREAMS:====

=====Reference Designs=====
Every 4 weeks, Thursdays 8-9 AM PT // 11-12 AM ET // 5-6 PM CET. First call the 22nd of June 2023 (see [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XJSZyONA3FZtDtCHIL85R6H3w9-jJvDVlfu3aRYKAJw/edit?usp=sharing Calendar])

Work:
 
:-How does a “heat recovery room” look like? 

:-Definition of spacing, elements, basic parameters;

:-Influence of size;

:-In a second stage, define different application scenarios (district heating, greenhouse, swimming pool…) as variables of the base design;

Deliverables:

:-Reference tools (tools for equipment dimensioning);

:-Tables with equipment to be employed; tables with parameters;

:-Drawings; 


Expertise: MEP knowledge, in particular hydraulic systems and controls, technical drawing, technical dimensioning

=====TCO Analysis=====
Every 4 weeks, Thursdays 8-9 AM PT // 11-12 AM ET // 5-6 PM CET. First call the 29th of June 2023 (see [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XJSZyONA3FZtDtCHIL85R6H3w9-jJvDVlfu3aRYKAJw/edit?usp=sharing Calendar])

Work: 

:-Define how much does a baseline heat reuse project cost. Boundary: the data center exchange room.

:-Define variables and parameters of influence, 

:-Influence of size,

:-In a second stage, define different application scenarios (district heating, greenhouse, swimming pool…) as variables of the base design

Deliverables:

:-model with the financials of heat reuse: 

:-base case(s) definition / example case /parameters to consider / boundaries

:-Cost analysis of equipment

:-White paper with an analysis of the results

:-water usage, carbon emissions model: (separate workstream ? 🡪 that is not TCO )


Expertise: MEP knowledge, in particular hydraulic systems and controls, technical drawing, technical dimensioning


(Necessary consideration of the results from other workstreams: Policies around heat reuse / Reference designs) 

=====Policies around Heat Reuse=====
Every 4 weeks, Tuesdays 8-9 AM PT // 11-12 AM ET // 5-6 PM CET. First call the 27th of June 2023 (see [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XJSZyONA3FZtDtCHIL85R6H3w9-jJvDVlfu3aRYKAJw/edit?usp=sharing Calendar])

Work: 

:-identify barriers, needed actions and highlight sample policies around the globe for heat reuse in data centers

Deliverables

:Whitepaper:

:-an introduction/summary which makes the case for reusing data center waste heat; 

:-a section which identifies key hurdles or barriers, general actions which governments can take, and 1-2 examples of good policies where they exist; and 

:-a final section on potential people or organizations to engage who are outside of the OCP with whom we might engage.  

Expertise: Understanding of regulation bodies and how they are structured; the timelines; the language; the hierarchical levels
