This is what we are doing at Qarnot Computing for 5years. We created a heater using CPU as a heat source. People send a docker image (3d rendering, financial analysis...) and we run it on heaters deployed in buildings in Paris where people are heated for free (we refund the electricity cost)

Love the idea ! I would love to work with you if I didn't have a nice project in the same time.

Small error in the FAQ though: "kW/h" ;-)

Why don't you use boilers? That way you can use the heating year round.
