Swedes to use body heat to warm offices - Yahoo! News

Swedes to use body heat to warm offices - Yahoo! News: "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."

The system will cost about 300,000 kronor (euro32,000; US$47,000) to install, he said.
