‘Thermify is a radical new solution to replace gas boilers and generate new revenue from cloud computing. It uses energy twice. From 2025 the UK Government wants new homes to be heated with renewable energy such as Thermify’s patented ‘HeatHub’ technology. The HeatHub is a miniature data center which generates heat by carrying out tasks for our corporate cloud computing customers.
