Looking at waste body heat as an alternative heating solution
Discover how buildings are harnessing waste body heat
LIFESTYLE Environment
The use of renewable energy sources as a way to reduce global carbon emissions has been around for decades. From wind turbines to solar panels, all across the world people are making use of energy sources other than fossil fuels to power their day-to-day activities.
But one renewable energy source that had, until recently, gone relatively untapped is human body heat. Did you know that the waste heat generated by humans as we go about our daily lives has considerable potential as a carbon-reducing energy source?
Check out this gallery to find out how buildings can use waste body heat to save on traditional heating.
