Energieverbund Dielsdorf: Data center waste heat as an energy source

Green Datacenter AG is building three large data centres in the industrial area of Dielsdorf, which produce considerable amounts of waste heat during operation. The company transfers the energy to Energie 360° for sustainable reuse. As the planner, Basler & Hofmann acted as a bridge between the heat producer and the energy company. We demonstrated the feasibility, supported the development of the concept for the heating network and took on the planning of the energy centre and the utility lines on the site from the preliminary project to the tendering process. Since the start of the implementation and as a result of the introduction of the alliance model (Integrated Project Delivery), we have been responsible for coordination with third parties, structural engineering and several specialist disciplines.
