Similar concepts already exist in California or Rotterdam, for example: there, clubs use the kinetic energy of dancers on the floor to generate electricity. But the “SWG3” club is the first place in the world to test the so-called body heat system. The initiative will be presented at the UN-backed COP26 climate conference, which begins in the Scottish port city on October 31.
one in Explanation The club says: “We are very excited to announce our plans to introduce a state-of-the-art renewable heating and cooling system for the SWG3 complex, Which converts the body heat of clubbers and gig-goers into an energy source that can be reused.“
BodyHeat uses a heat pump and fluid to concentrate the body heat generated by the crowd in SWG3. this heat can then either be instant To cool the audience by means of air conditioning unless they are used or stored underground to heat the building needed.
a human being Body Emits about 100 watts of extra heat, which can add up quickly in a confined space. huge amount of heat People Released in a currently unused environment, in clubs or concerts. “With this new system,” said the club operator, “We can harness this heat by using only a little electricity and gas on site and at the same time reducing our CO2 emissions.”
