The data center will not affect the air temperature in Boulder City.
​
The location of the project site is almost three miles from the nearest home and sits about 400 feet lower in elevation. The distance and elevation change limit how much heat could travel toward residential areas.
To release heat, the facility uses cooling towers that move warm air upward several hundred feet above the buildings and direct heat away from ground level. Heat that is released into the atmosphere would be substantially diluted quickly after being dispersed and would not cause a measurable increase in temperature to nearby residents.
TS2 recognizes the community’s concerns about heat and comfort. The goal is to allow natural upward dissipation of heat. The closest neighborhoods will not feel a change in air temperature.
