Re: Going Dutch

With distributed heating they can alway open a window.

The servers need to be on to complete a function but the heat produced can be either kept or vented. With a distributed system you won't have to worry about the cumulative effect of having more heat than you can effectively disperse. If designed right, the air flow from the servers could be used to "pump" fresh air in by function of convection.
