VOICED: Body heat warms central Stockholm station

The video discusses the innovative use of body heat from travelers at a busy railway station in northern Europe to power a nearby office building. By recycling this heat, the station aims to reduce energy consumption and costs. The process involves using cooling systems and heat exchange technology to transfer heat to the new building. The initiative is part of a broader effort to implement environmentally smart solutions, even in older buildings like the 19th-century Stockholm station. This approach not only saves energy but also reduces electricity bills, making it a cost-effective and sustainable solution for the future.

What is the primary source of energy being recycled at the railway station?

• Body heat from travelers

• Geothermal energy

• Solar panels

• Wind turbines

How is the recycled heat transferred to the new office building?

• Via a heat exchange system

• Through electrical wires

• Using solar panels

• By wind turbines

What is the environmental benefit of using the heat exchange technology?

• It requires more energy to operate

• It reduces the need for additional electricity

• It increases air pollution

• It increases the use of fossil fuels

What is the goal of the owners of the Stockholm station regarding energy use?

• To increase energy consumption

• To turn the neighborhood into an energy-saving laboratory

• To rely solely on fossil fuels

• To build more traditional power plants

What is the expected reduction in the energy bill due to the new system?

• By a fifth

• By half

• By a third

• By a quarter
