The setup is part of a program from Thermify, which itself is part of the SHIELD project by UK Power Networks. The SHIELD Project aims to develop new ways for low-income households to transition to net-zero. According to Thermify’s CEO and co-founder, Travis Theune, the couple’s HeatHub installation will become part of a “remote and distributed” data center — just one of many units processing customer data.

Each HeatHub unit consists of several modules containing up to 56 Raspberry Pi computers. Although these datacenters are not designed for heavy AI workloads, Theune says the systems could be used to run apps or analyze large volumes of data. While the project is still in its pilot phase, clients will eventually pay Thermifty to process their data using HeatHubs.
