In 2016, DeepMind AI minimized a big part of Google's yearly costs by reducing the Google Data Center's cooling bill by 40% using their DQN AI model (deep Q-learning). Check the link here:

In this case study, we'll do something very similar. We'll set up our own server environment, and we'll build an AI that controls the cooling and heating of the server so that it stays in an optimal range of temperatures while using the minimum of energy, therefore minimizing the costs.
