Negotiating Landlord Heat Limits Before Energisation

Mixed-use lower floors are where hydro-cooled mining at 0.08–0.15 EH/s either succeeds or stalls in paperwork. The hardware fits; the lease clause does not.

Start With Measurable Limits

Ask landlords to specify numbers: maximum outlet water temperature at the building tie-in, property-line noise at night, and allowed maintenance windows. Vague “no industrial use” clauses force expensive rework later.

We provide a one-page landlord summary after commissioning with:

• Hourly outlet temperature during 48-hour burn-in
• Property-line decibel readings with pump and exchanger running
• Photographs of insulated piping and drip paths

Han Logistics in Daegu used the thermal images in a tenant meeting — visuals matter when hash rate means nothing to upstairs offices.

Conditional Audits as Leverage

A thermal audit that returns conditional is still valuable. It lists remedial items with cost bands: booster pump, acoustic wrap, secondary dump line. Sandra K. in Incheon used ours to negotiate landlord-funded booster installation instead of absorbing it entirely.

Witness Attendance

Some leases require landlord or building manager witness during energisation. We offer a half-day witness slot (see Rates) with signatures on the temperature log. Schedule witness windows early — building managers rarely attend twice.

What We Do Not Sign

We will not certify compliance with laws or codes we are not engaged to assess. Reports document measured conditions against your stated lease thresholds, not universal building law. Legal review of the lease remains with your counsel.

Next Step

If energisation is within 30 days, email the clause text with your cabinet model. We flag conflicts before technicians travel.
