The human body typically generates 100 watts of heat. Heat exchangers located in the stations ventilation system convert this heat into hot water, which is then pumped to the office building, providing it with environmentally friendly and cost effective heating.
It is estimated that the process can reduce the office buildings energy costs by up to 25%.

This is something new for me, i have never heard that before that a ventilation system of heat converter can convert heat of human body into the hot water..
Amazing!!
Clean energy! If we can implement that in the crowded urban areas - the tube stations for example, and use the heat to warm the nearby office or household buildings that would help a lot of people in these times of economic crisis.
It's actually nothing new to nature. Just take a look at how penguins, bees and ants gather in huge flocks to keep the "core" of the flock nice and warm!
