A Glasgow night club has installed a radical way to cut power bills and save the planet.
A Glasgow arts venue, SWG3, became the first in the world to switch to a power system that turns dancers’ body heat into renewable energy.Cutting down on red meat. Switching to energy-saving light bulbs. Flying less. There are many choices we can make to help fight climate change.In October 2022, after three years of development, the venue became the first in the world to switch to a power system that turns dancers’ body heat into renewable energy.
“If you have a thousand people in here, that’s enough to heat 65 homes, and a lot of gas that isn’t being burnt.” The water is pumped down 200 metres through a series of pipe loops into 12 boreholes underneath the club’s community garden. As it travels, the heat is transferred into the ground where it is stored for future use.
