Engineers in Sweden have found a way to channel the body heat from commuters passing through Stockholm’s Central Station to heat another building located across the street. The technology is not new (using heat exchangers to convert the excess body heat into hot water), but it does present a potentially new way of reducing heating costs. These types of solutions make sense in communities with low winter temperatures and high energy prices. The successful implementation of this technology means that we could future urban environments that are coordinated to take advantage of excess body heat.
