TCAAP Energy Integration Resiliency Framework <br />Policy White Paper – Energy Efficiency Strategies (Demand-Side Management) <br /> <br /> 33 <br />Precedent <br />Amazon Co-Location: Currently in Seattle, Amazon is working to locate a number of new buildings <br />within two blocks of an existing building that houses a high volume of data centers. In this instance, <br />one multi-story data center building will provide enough thermal energy for more than three, full - <br />block, multi-story buildings. High electricity consumers or large thermal waste producers such as data <br />centers offer great opportunities for sharing heat – preconditioning air for adjacent buildings, or <br />through district systems. Seeking development opportunities like this would allow for cooper ative <br />efficiency and overall reduced customer energy costs. <br />Figure 2. TCAAP energy consumption distribution projection by building type <br /> <br />6.4. Efficient Construction and Design <br />In the Midwest 40% of total energy use goes to providing b uildings with the energy to heat and cool <br />buildings, to ventilate occupied spaces, and to provide users with electricity.
