Henrico County is a major hub for data centers in Virginia. Its officials said it expects a 25% rise in electricity costs next year, and advised workers to close the blinds and turn off their computers to make up for it.

Less AC needed.
Won’t need ac when we’re all forced to live underground in a few years. Hello fellow mole people
Oh that’s right, y’all got AC back there. I forgor.
I know Europe is scant on AC in general, but you guys really don’t even use it in schools? That seems wild to me.
There are a lot of places in the US that don’t have AC in schools. The number of days that it would be used just don’t happen during the school year enough to justify it.
No AC in schools. School is out in the summer in general.
We prefer to stick our fingers in our ears, pretend climate change isn’t getting worse and torture our kids and teachers instead. At least after the recent heatwave some conversations are starting to happen.
May June and September don’t have the capability to have hot days in Europe? In 2010 only the newer part of my highschool had AC, but now I believe the whole building does.
In southern Europe, yes. In northern Europe, generally no need for AC. Remember that Europe is not one country.
Most buildings don’t have them. Why would schools be any different? Our secondary school was culturally protected so even if they wanted to install one they probably could not. And the only time heat was an issue was during covid when we got assigned the attic classroom. All the other rooms were alright.
