Modern data halls operate at increasingly higher temperatures<\/strong> compared to the past.<\/p>\nHot aisle and cold aisle containment, technological advancements in servers and the introduction of high-density applications are raising operating temperatures.<\/p>\n
These thermal levels are not well suited for direct use in civil and industrial applications, but they represent a significant resource when integrated into a system designed for recovery.<\/p>\n
The role of the infrastructure therefore becomes central.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>THE DATA CENTER IS NOT JUST A PLACE WHERE HEAT IS DISSIPATED, BUT AN ENERGY HUB<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
Heat recovery by design<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>In DataDom prefabricated data centers, heat recovery<\/strong> is considered from the very first design stages.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe analysis of IT loads, thermal flows, and operating temperatures makes it possible to realistically assess the share of recoverable energy and the potential uses of the heat.<\/p>\n
In Europe, regulations and strategic guidelines on energy efficiency require new data centers to be designed with heat recovery capabilities. For this reason, we integrate design solutions from the outset that make the infrastructure compliant, without the need for subsequent interventions or forced adaptations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
This approach avoids theoretical or oversized solutions and makes it possible to design systems that are truly usable and consistent with the building and plant context in which the data center is integrated.<\/p>\n
Heat recovery<\/strong> can be directed, for example, to heating offices and service areas, pre-treating primary air, or integrating with existing energy systems.<\/strong><\/p>\nOperational continuity and infrastructure resilience remain the priority: the heat recovery system is designed to operate without interfering with data center performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>![\"Corridoio](\"https:\/\/datadom.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/data-center-scaled.jpeg\" "\\"server")

<\/i>Prefabrication and modularity<\/h4><\/div>Prefabrication makes it possible to integrate heat recovery systems directly during the production phase, with benefits in terms of quality, control, and installation time.<\/p>\n
The modularity<\/strong> of the infrastructure also makes it possible to extend the recovery system progressively, following the evolution of the data center and IT loads.<\/strong> This makes heat recovery a scalable solution<\/strong>, compatible with future expansions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i>Beyond PUE<\/h4><\/div>Efficiency can no longer be evaluated solely through indicators that measure internal consumption.<\/p>\n
Heat recovery and reuse introduce a broader perspective, where the energy value of the infrastructure is considered as a whole.<\/p>\n
The data center is not just a major energy consumer, but actively contributes to more efficient and circular energy systems.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
The data center as an energy infrastructure<\/h2><\/div>Integrating heat recovery means rethinking the role of the data center within its territory.
\nNo longer an isolated element, but an active component of a broader system, capable of interacting with buildings, facilities, and energy networks.<\/p>\n
For DataDom, designing data centers also means creating infrastructures ready for this shift: efficient, integrated, and oriented toward a more rational use of energy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span>![\"Corridoio](\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%272000%27%20height%3D%271078%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%202000%201078%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%272000%27%20height%3D%271078%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\")
