According to Seattle Times newspaper "Amazon’s new Denny Triangle campus is to get its heat from a data center across the street."

"The project, believed to be the first of its kind in the country, will send water coursing back and forth through pipes under Sixth Avenue and could pave the way for a large swath of Seattle to recycle energy."

"The system will use heat generated by computers and servers inside the Westin Building, a 34-floor office tower at Virginia Street and Sixth Avenue."

"The building, owned by Clise, houses a vast data center and a high-tech Internet exchange point where communication networks connect with each other."

Richard Stevenson, president of Clise said  “We’ll have the world’s largest Internet retailer heating its office space with waste heat created by the Internet.” 

Amazon spokesman Ty Rogers concluded that the shared system will be “nearly four times more efficient than a traditional heating system.”
