Each passenger lets out about 100 watts of energy in body heat each time they enter and wait in the subway -- couple that energy with the heat from moving and stopping trains, and the temperature in the underground railway stations is consistently higher than it is above ground. The new heating system will draw heat up from underground in much in the same way that geothermal projects do, providing energy to heat the building's 17 apartments....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/body-heat-from-paris-metro-to-heat-residential-building/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
