#solarpunk #hackerspace #writing question: what would be the most Solarpunk / realistic / interesting way to heat a hackerspace in a city in colder climate? Something to make a story interesting & visual?
The usual answer "servers" isn't that eco
@alxd I used to work for a software company (in NYS!) and we didn't notice our furnace was broken until a sub-zero (F) day in mid-winter, between the interns we had stacked on each other, the servers, and the workstations.
@alxd (not sure your location from your profile, so mid-NY has a last frost day of may and a first frost day of October and we're generally sub freezing from November through early March at least.
@alxd @aldersprig a kitchen or a gym could be sources of heat.
solarthermal panels on the roof don't work very well when there is little sun 🤷♀️
@aldersprig @alxd windmills are awesome!
@aldersprig @alxd another thing that produces heat, and generates gas that can produce heat is a biogas-chamber. though, it needs to be kept warm itself to function ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@malte @alxd but windmills do! Well, I mean, we have no sun and lots of wind here.
And I hadn't thought of a kitchen, even though my baking doubles in the winter to heat that end of the house!
Bread!!
