Default Body Heat

Companies everywhere are looking for new and innovative ways to conserve energy and use natural energy sources where they can. Recently in the news there are two very innovative and interesting ways harness heat.

One company in Sweden is looking to get everyone involved. Well, maybe not everyone will be involved, but they will contribute something very valuable – body heat. The real estate company Jernhusen AB, is looking to their daily commuters in the train terminals. Each day thousands of people hurry to catch a train to work at Stockholm’s railway station. The company believes they can take the body heat from those commuters and use it to help heat nearby buildings. In fact, the firm says the system they are developing will heat about 15 percent of a 13 story building.You can find the entire article here http://aboutmyplanet.com/alternative-energy/body-heat
