How digital tools can make future buildings more sustainable

12 Jun. 2019 10:00 – 10:45 , Vetenskapens hus:

A lecture about how the future of housing, data centers and greenhouses can become more sustainable by means of virtual models and optimization.

Greenhouse at data center

Now researchers at Luleå Univesity of Technology want to take advantage of the waste heat generated by many industries in a better way. In a cold city like Luleå there are both heavy industries and large data centers that create large amounts of heat, which is apparent during the cold part of the year when steam rises to the sky.

35 million to data center / IT innovations

The northernmost region of Sweden could become world leading in data center and large-scale data management. This is in all cases the goal of Datacenter Innovation Region, one of the projects that recently was awarded funding from Strukturfondspartnerskapet för Övre Norrland.

Well-attended seminar on innovations in the north

Luleå University of Technology, IVA Nord and Rifo invited to an open seminar on the subject of innovations in the north of Sweden.

Multifunctional data centers

Two researchers from Luleå University of Technology, Marcus Sandberg and Agatino Rizzo and a coming Phd Student will explore the possibility of developing sustainable datacenters for a more attractive built environment. The number of energy-intensive datacenters in Sweden and Europe are increasing and their impact on the local community need to be sustainable.

National research center to the university

Luleå University of Technology starts a national research center – Cloudberry Datacenters – within energy and resource-efficient data centers. The goal is to become a hub for research, development, knowledge and implementation in the data center area.

Datacenters heat up greenhouses

Residual heat from data centers can be reused to heat up greenhouses. The Green Power research project recently presented the pros and cons of using low temperature heat from data centers for greenhouse cultivation.

Energy efficient cooling of data centers

There are built more and more mega data centers in the world, and Sweden is indicated as the fifth most attractive country for the establishment of data centers. As the cooling of a data center accounts for a significant part of its total energy consumption, two researchers at Luleå University of Technology want to develop more energy-efficient and thus environmentally friendly ways of cooling these systems.

Data center next to the university ready for research

Today, the first section of the world's first open data center for experimental research and innovation, SICS ICE, was inaugurated. The data center is an initiative of SICS North Swedish ICT and Luleå University of Technology.

Datacenter warms greenhouse cultivation

Mushrooms grown in greenhouses heated by using waste heat from data centers. That can become a reality when researchers at Luleå University of Technology take on the project Green Power.
