BBC spotlight of heata on The One Show

heata's innovative model distributes data processing workloads to specially designed servers installed in residential homes. These units are mounted on domestic hot water tanks, and the heat generated during computing is redirected into the water system. This not only reduces the energy required to heat water, typically done by gas boilers, but also lowers the household’s carbon footprint. heata covers the electricity costs for the server units, offering users a tangible financial benefit while supporting the green energy transition and fuel poverty.

About Heata
heata is redefining the benchmark in sustainable cloud computing. By distributing its servers within homes, heata creates a ‘virtual data centre’ where the waste heat from data processing is re-used to offset domestic hot water heating, providing free hot water for people who need it. Data processing is fundamental to our modern world, and heata believes it can also help support the need for heat in society. With investment from Brook Capital, heata is well-positioned to scale its impact and help businesses across the UK support their communities through more sustainable cloud computing. Heat is useful. Why waste it?
