  • There’s no real complexity. Computers are first and foremost electric space heaters, a negligible amount of energy is used to perform computation.

    If you would be heating a room with resistive electric heating, a computer drawing the same wattage can do the same job while also, in theory, doing some useful work.

    If you are just evaluating heating options, heat pumps use less energy to output the same heat.
