Abstract: A system includes multiple buildings including a first building and a second building disposed in close proximity to each other. Each of the buildings has a first end configured to receive ambient supply air from an exterior environment and a second end configured to output exhaust air to the exterior environment. Each of the buildings contains multiple computing devices. The computing devices in each building are configured to generate thermal energy that is transmitted to the supply air, thereby heating the supply air into the exhaust air before the exhaust air exits that building. The first end of the first building is a closest end to the second building and the first end of the second building is a closest end to the first building. The first end of the first building and the first end of the second building form portions of a supply air corridor between the first building and the second building.

Abstract: A method includes receiving temperature measurements from multiple temperature sensors in a power supply system that includes multiple coils arranged in a series downstream of a turbine, each coil configured to receive thermal energy from an air stream exhausted from the turbine as the air stream moves toward a data center, each coil associated with at least one fluid loop. The method also includes using a first subset of the temperature measurements to determine a blended fluid mix from a primary fluid path and a heated fluid reservoir in order to obtain a predetermined leaving fluid temperature at a first coil of the multiple coils. The method further includes controlling a position of one or more valves associated with the primary fluid path and the heated fluid reservoir to achieve the determined blended fluid mix.
