A technology company is constructing a new high-performance computing facility in a coastal sub-arctic region. Instead of using standard energy-intensive mechanical chillers, they implement a Deep Sea Water Cooling (DSWC) system that pumps naturally cold water from ocean depths to cool the servers. The warmed water is then routed to heat local municipal greenhouses before being returned to the sea.
Explain how implementing this system helps to protect the environment.
