Re: I'm sure it'll work..

almost makes me wonder as we focus on "green" buildings, we should water cool the massive server farms in some of the biggest data centers and then use that heat to help heat the office spaces. i mean the energy is being spent why not put it to use and save on AC operations during cooler months by just dumping the server heat into the office which would save on fuel too because you wouldnt have to burn as much gas/oil to heat the offices.

 There's a lot of 'green' ideas that could be put to good use... just need someone to integrate the systems (HVAC). I watch too many of the shows on the Science channel where they manufacture in +1000F furnaces, and just let the heat 'escape' or burn off. At least they should be putting that waste energy to use (i.e. steam powered electrical generators).

Or better yet: adsorption chillers! Use the process waste heat to cool stuff. Like the building, or a part of the process that needs refrigeration...

The NORAD bunker in Colorado used to be heated entirely by their computer room (vac. tube days)...recent upgrades to smaller, more powerful computers caused all sorts of heating related issues...
