A datacentre in Amsterdam has drilled down into a vast underground aquifer to regulate temperatures in the summer and winter.
The TelecityGroup datacentre pumps cold groundwater stored naturally in the subsurface chamber up to its cooling units in the summer, so that excess heat can be dispersed. In the winter, the now-warmer water can be pumped to the surface to be cooled by low external temperatures, stored in the ground, and then used again during the next summer.
