For commercial property owners & operators
Compute + commercial heat recovery
Put a managed compute pod to work in your building—and put its heat to use. At suitable facilities, recovered heat can help preheat hot water or support building heating.
Your site proposal defines the return to your property: useful recovered heat, a site fee, or an energy-cost offset. It also sets out who pays for installation, pod electricity, cooling, and any heat-recovery equipment.
Pilot in development
We are seeking site and workload partners. Commercial terms and deployments are not yet available.
Where it could fit
We would begin with a small number of well-qualified facilities, then work toward repeatable installations across property portfolios.
Owner-controlled facilities such as hotels and leisure buildings with regular hot-water needs, secure service space, safe access, and a practical path to reject heat. Sensitive occupied areas need special attention to sound and comfort.
Suitable fiber, metered electrical service, and documented capacity under the site’s actual load profile. Capacity must remain available when the pod needs it.
Buildings with regular hot-water or suitable low-temperature heating demand are promising candidates. We match useful heat output to the temperature, timing, and needs of your building.
Two useful outputs. One installation.
We design heat recovery around a real use in the building, so useful warmth becomes part of the commercial host benefit.
A suitable cooling system transfers heat from the compute equipment into a recovery loop.
A heat exchanger connects that recovered heat to a suitable building system. A heat pump may be needed where higher temperatures are required.
Preheating water or supporting compatible space heating can reduce the energy your existing equipment needs to supply.
Hotels, leisure facilities, and buildings with regular hot-water use are examples worth assessing. We check the heat demand, required temperatures, distance to the equipment, and installation costs.
The design retains heating when compute heat is unavailable and cooling when the building does not need the heat. We measure useful heat delivered and assess net savings after added running costs.

Tell us about your building’s heat needsThe facility comes first
The pod is planned around the building’s essential operations. Its operating envelope sets the permitted load and the response when local conditions change.
Metering and local controls would enforce agreed limits. Eligible compute jobs can be scheduled, reduced, or paused only within the service commitments made to their buyers. Not every workload can tolerate interruption.
Existing wiring, a large service rating, or quiet overnight hours do not guarantee available utility capacity. Site and network review come before a deployment commitment.
From site survey to service
Commercial facilities have different tariffs, demand charges, access rules, and tenant obligations. The proposal should reflect yours.
Review interval demand, heating and hot-water use, the tariff, electrical equipment, secure space, fiber, cooling routes, service access, and the owner’s plans for future loads. Unused panel capacity alone is not a green light.
Work with qualified electrical professionals and the utility as needed to define approved power limits, metering, demand charges, and any curtailment requirements. Model the building and pod together.
Select GPUs and suitable workloads together. Buyer requirements for security, availability, networking, and interruptions must fit the site before equipment is ordered.
Provide dedicated circuits, secure equipment, connectivity, and the agreed heat-recovery system. Test heat delivery, backup cooling, power limits, alarms, and service procedures.
Lorafield would monitor and maintain the pod, schedule eligible workloads, and plan hardware replacement. The property team gets agreed reporting and a clear point of contact.
An agreement that works for both sides
Commercial host terms would be negotiated for the property. The residential free-charging offer is not a commercial offer.
Account for pod energy, cooling, demand charges, tariff changes, and any effects on the building’s peak. Define how the pod’s incremental costs are measured and paid.
Useful recovered heat, a site fee, or an energy-cost offset can form part of the commercial agreement. We assess net value after heat-recovery equipment, pumping, any heat pump, maintenance, and site costs.
Define equipment ownership, secure network separation, access, insurance, service levels, term, removal, and restoration before installation.
Set maintenance windows, escalation procedures, hardware refresh responsibilities, and a process for changing limits as the facility evolves.
Build a useful foundation
The lasting foundation is the site relationship, connectivity, metering, operating knowledge, and controls. Compute hardware can be refreshed as buyer needs evolve.
Heat recovery is assessed as part of the initial commercial design. Battery storage, managed EV charging, and grid services can build on that foundation where each has a clear business case.
Commercial deployments are a development concept. No live facilities, contracted compute revenue, or utility approvals are implied.
A conversation about your property
Tell us the location, type of facility, and what you would like to explore. We’ll use this to assess the fit for a possible pilot; detailed surveys come later.
Commercial terms are site-specific. The residential free-charging offer does not apply to commercial properties.
