Berlin’s Iconic Pallasseum Now Heated by a Data Center’s Waste Energy
Heat Transition: Telekom Data Center Heats 500 Apartments
Data centers are known as major energy consumers. However, they can also serve as the basis for innovative heating systems, as shown by a project of the Telekom.
A 1970s residential landmark in Berlin has switched to a greener heating solution. The Pallasseum in Schöneberg now uses waste heat from a nearby data centre to warm its 500 apartments. This innovative system was developed by GASAG Solution Plus in partnership with PASM Power and Solution GmbH, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom.
The project repurposes low-temperature waste heat generated by the data centre. A high-performance water-to-water heat pump boosts the temperature to between 70–75°C. The heated water then travels through a 140-metre district heating line to the Pallasseum’s central plant.
The Pallasseum’s new heating system shows how excess energy can be reused locally. Tenants benefit from lower emissions, while the data centre reduces waste. The collaboration between GASAG Solution Plus and PASM Power and Solution GmbH sets an example for future urban energy projects.
