Using People to Heat Buildings

I like this story on the BBC web site.

I think I read somewhere that a person gives out about the same heat as a one bar electric fire.

We rarely collect it to make sure buildings are warm enough. But that amount of heat does explain why the Underground gets hot.

  1. Good Idea . . . Capture Body Heat. . . But do not forget other body waste products for recycling.

    In Outback Travel in OZ . . . we can use Plastic & Plastic Bags to Capture water from Trees, and the Ground . . . and in an emergency can reuse Urine by setting up a Solar Still {Tent Form} . . . and capture condensate.
