District Energy
A campus-scale electric + thermal operating model—measured, optimized, and contractable.
Thermal Network Architecture
A three-tier thermal distribution system designed for flexibility, efficiency, and tenant-specific requirements.
Warm Water Loop
Direct heat recovery from compute systems at moderate temperatures, suitable for space heating and preheating applications.
Upgraded Heat Loop
Industrial heat pumps boost recovered thermal energy to higher temperatures for process heat applications.
Cooling Services
Coordinated smart rejection and cooling services for tenants requiring chilled water or air conditioning.
Thermal Storage
Buffering and shifting thermal supply to match demand patterns and maximize economic value.
Short-Duration Buffering
Minutes to hours of thermal capacity to smooth supply fluctuations and handle transient demand spikes without curtailing compute operations.
Long-Duration Shifting
Hours to days of storage capacity enabling thermal arbitrage, seasonal load management, and enhanced grid flexibility participation.
Why Thermal Storage Matters
- Decouples heat generation from consumption timing
- Enables participation in demand response programs
- Reduces peak cooling infrastructure requirements
- Improves tenant supply reliability
- Creates revenue opportunities from grid services

Temperature Band
Guaranteed supply and return temperature specifications.
Flow Entitlement
Contracted thermal capacity in kW or flow rate in m³/hr.
Curtailment Rights
Conditions under which supply may be reduced and associated remedies.
M&V Framework
Measurement and verification protocols for billing and performance tracking.
