Swedes to use body heat to warm offices
| Quote From Source: | STOCKHOLM, Sweden - A Swedish company plans to harness the body heat generated by thousands of commuters scrambling to catch their trains at Stockholm's main railway station and use it for heating a nearby office building.
Real estate firm Jernhusen AB believes the system can provide about 15 percent of the heating needed for a 13-storey building being built next to the Central Station in the Swedish capital.

My first thought was this sounded crazy, but it got me thinking, if the UHI effect is enough to raise temperatures around the cities by a couple degrees, maybe we should try and trap that, or at least explore how much of it is trappable. |
