As with free-air cooling, the only tech you need to pull this off is good old HVAC know-how: fans, ducts, and thermostats. You'll likely find that your data center puts out more than enough therms to replace traditional heating systems. IBM's data center in ***Uitikon***, Switzerland, was able to heat the town pool for free, saving energy equal to that for heating 80 homes.

Discussion
不過，有一點我知道的是，德語的發音比較古，荷蘭語反而有palatization，分別就有點像粵語和普通話，雖然這是母音不是子音，我想也可能不一定會太接近。
- According to the German transcription table in my dictionary, 厄伊蒂孔 would imply that the name starts with an Ö vowel, which is not the case here; I think 乌伊蒂孔 is probably more correct
