'The energy will then be stored across 12 underground boreholes, before being used to heat or cool our venue later'.
that installing the system had been "a leap of faith" but the venue was committed to achieving "net-zero" carbon emissions by 2025.Dancers' heat is piped through a carrier fluid to 650ft boreholes that can be charged like a thermal battery. This energy then travels back to the heat pumps and is upgraded to a suitable temperature. It is then emitted back into SWG3.
According to the owners, the system will enable them to disconnect the venue's gas boilers, resulting in a reduction of 70 tonnes of CO2 a year.who designed the system, Bodyheat, told: "When you start dancing, medium pace, to the Rolling Stones or something, you might be generating 250W. But if you've got a big DJ, absolutely slamming basslines and making everyone jump up and down, you could be generating 500-600W of thermal energy.
Dr. Jon Gluyas, geo-energy, carbon capture and storage chair in the Earth sciences department at Durham University, said that the move was a great way to"Heating water requires a lot of energy and it gives up that energy fairly slowly - so when you put that heat into the ground, it's fairly well insulated. Over time, you set up a sort of equilibrium whereby you may only lose a few degrees as it dissipates," he said.
Gluyas stressed that the "key" factor here is energy transformations and heat. "If you can save heat, it means you are making the whole system more efficient. It's carbon-zero and a phenomenally powerful way of overall reducing our demand for energy. If you get it from dancers' body heat then all the better," he added.
Bodyheat has been made possible with support from the Scottish Government: Low Carbon Infrastructure Transition Programme and District Heating Loan Fund ; William Grant Foundation and UK Community Renewal Fund.
