  Do Data Centers Really Drive Up Local Temperatures?

  The article explains that data centers can measurably increase temperatures in their immediate surroundings and reviews mitigation options.

  • Researchers found localized temperature increases of up to 16 degrees Fahrenheit around large-scale AI data centers, while a Phoenix-area study found overall local temperatures rose by about 4 degrees Fahrenheit and air directly emitted could be 25 degrees hotter.
  • The piece compares data centers with other heat sources such as office buildings, parked cars, and paved surfaces, and says potential cooling approaches include liquid cooling, seawater cooling, and more even heat distribution, though these options can be more expensive or complex.
