1. A system for recapturing waste heat from computing devices, comprising:
at least one computing device;
a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit;
an exhaust duct leading from the at least one computing device to the HVAC unit;
a bypass duct fluidly connected to the exhaust duct, for bypassing the HVAC unit;
a control valve disposed in the exhaust duct, structured and arranged to switch between an open position where a flow of exhaust air is sent to the HVAC unit, and a closed position where the flow of exhaust air is redirected to the bypass duct;
a controller operatively connected to the control valve and configured to switch the control valve between the closed position and the open position depending on a temperature of the exhaust air.
