Data centers raise nearby temperatures by up to 4 degrees in Phoenix

Waste heat from data centers can boost air temperatures in downwind neighborhoods by as much as 4 degrees Fahrenheit, researchers at Arizona State University report in a new study conducted in the Phoenix metro area, the hottest in the U.S.

"As we do more measurements under different kinds of atmospheric conditions, I think we're going to see more significant impacts around data centers," said lead author David Sailor.
