Behind the new technologies, a significant footprint … – BFMTV.COM

The digital dematerialize all? Not exactly ! Sometimes it is the opposite. Behind the computer technology and communication lies an energy footprint which is not expected. On the whole, in terms of greenhouse gases is the equivalent of that emitted by the aviation sector.

The example data center is one of the most striking. Now produces huge computer farms to outsource and store all our data: our photos, our videos, our emails there. In large quantities. Recall that 10 billion emails are sent per hour on the planet.

In such buildings, there is a very high concentration of computers that run continuously and produce a lot of heat. Like a faucet that remain open all the time.

How to manage this heat produced by the entire walls full of technology? For everything does not explode, it must regulate the temperature of the room. It is this very energy that is 40 to 50% of the energy used to run data centers used to their only cooling. A waste of energy that goes into the atmosphere unnecessarily and affect the climate.

Smart solutions exist. This heat can leave in urban networks, to heat homes for example. Thus, even on the scale of a household, computer activation can be used to operate the oven or radiator via integrated servers. And the good news is that these technologies are already in operation
