A heated sidewalk in Holland, Michigan Installation of a geothermal snowmelt system on a street in Reykjavík, Iceland.. A snowmelt system prevents the build-up of snow and ice on cycleways, walkways, patios and roadways, or more economically, only a portion of the area such as a pair of 2-foot (0.61 m)-wide tire tracks on a driveway or a 3-foot (0.91 m) center portion of a sidewalk, etc.
Since 2016, immersion cooling in particular for bitcoin mining has become a popular method to generate usable heat. Immersion cooling offered a means to silently convert the waste heat from the mining operation to heat water, melt snow, power in-floor heating, and heat hot tubs, pools, shops, outbuildings, sheds, and greenhouses.

Vegetation gives off heat, resulting in this circular snowmelt pattern. [1] There are several energy fluxes involved in the melting of snow. [2] These fluxes can act in opposing directions, that is either delivering heat to or removing heat from the snowpack. Ground heat flux is the energy delivered to the snowpack from the soil below by ...
Some individual buildings may melt snow and ice with electric heating elements buried in the pavement, or even on a roof to prevent ice dams on the shingles, or to keep massive chunks of snow and dangerous icicles from collapsing on anyone below. Small areas of pavement can be kept ice-free by circulating heated liquids in embedded piping systems.
