Cooling Data Center Podcast · Bill Kosik, HED & The Green Grid: Inflexion Points, Common Sense & Why We've Been Here Before · 21 May 2026 podcast

I don't know if I can put it quite that way.

But on mature reflection, do you think that we should actually be thinking about the visual impact of data centers in our world?

I mean, what are your thoughts on it?

I'm thinking of ones in the Nordics in particular.

I've seen ones where they have been sympathetic to the location, to the surrounding areas, and done their best to blend them in.

But I just thought it was an interesting thing when you were on talking about, and people don't realize, I mean, they don't realize the difference.

If you have a one gigawatt center, which is positively mid-range now, I think, in the U.S.,

uh they don't understand the difference with going from a pue of 1.5 to 1.05 they don't know what that means in terms of uh cooling all they had to ask you was well can we make them more visually impressive you know so yeah and and yeah i mean it is kind of you know humorous in a way um but you know just a shameless plug just hed and one of the one of the

42-week construction, yeah.

Yeah, no, absolutely.

And I didn't realize I was setting you up so softly for such a shameless plug, but, you know, plug away.

There's no shortage of them here.

But Bill, I just...

finally i want to just remind people again uh all about green grid because what you're doing there is very important and um it has a place uh with all of us we're all sympathetic and anybody who doesn't know anything about it i'd encourage them to go and check it out and and check out what you guys are doing because i i really do um think it's a very very important part of where this whole engineering is going and where it's going to stand up and bill just from somebody who's uh

I've always considered myself the older guy in the cooling side of things.

I was the guy who was out showing people how to use variable speed drives instead of fan controls on HVAC systems.

As one of those guys that always thought himself the older guy, I have to say, hats off.

Really very, very impressed with the pragmatic attitude you take to things, with the common sense that you bring to a

a very divergent, what's becoming a very divergent industry.

And I wish you a very long and continued career in doing it.
