Swedes move to human heating for buildings.

Most Europeans, and others, consider the people of Sweden, to be a very attractive race, with the blonde hair and blue eyes, from Greta Garbo to Uma Thurman, Swedes have always been considered to be, pretty hot stuff.

But now, the Swedish government has come up with a plan to use all these hot bodies for warming buildings, and saving the environment. Well that all sounds like an exciting idea; of course, you would need a lot of hot bodies in one place, to generate that kind of heat.

And that is where the Swedish plan comes together, in this very innovative idea, the heat from the bodies of more than a quarter of a million people, who move through Stockholm’s Central Station every day, will be gathered together, and then used to heat water in a serious of tubes, which will then be pumped across to an office building, currently being constructed across the street.

Karl Sundholm the stations property administrator, said that: “All people produce heat, and that heat is in fact fairly difficult to get rid of,” and “Instead of opening windows and letting all that heat go to waste, we want to harness it through the ventilation system.”

He further stated “This is old technology, but used in a new way. It’s just pipes, water and pumps, but we haven’t heard of anyone else using this technology in this way before,”

The new ventilation system should reduce the heating bills for the building by approximately twenty percent; the cost of the project is a mere $30,000. So now is official, the Swedes really are hot stuff.
