I’ve noticed that after the weekend, our office is always several degrees colder than it is later in the week, even though the heating has been left on. Increased computer activity plays a part, but so does human activity. The staff come into the office, they give off body heat and it warms the building. 

Now this is happening everywhere. The amount of heat energy given off by the population must be huge. So is there a way to harness it? It turns out that there is.

Over 200,000 people pass through Stockholme’s Central station each day. Jernhusen, a property company given the job of remodelling the station, have come up with a way of transferring the heat generated by all these people to an office building across the road.

The stations ventilation system includes heat exchangers which convert all this heat energy into hot water. It’s reported that the result is a 25% reduction in the buildings energy costs.

Needless to say, green energy is on everyone’s agenda at the moment, and initiatives like this are likely to be on the increase. Perhaps something to invest in, or even participate in for those with the skills and resources.

The Folly Of Fame

The internet age has thrown up something never seen before, businesses set up with little or no thought to revenue and profits. The success of companies like Twitter and Facebook has caused a lot of would-be entrepreneurs to take their eye off the ball. They are exceptions. For most of us, we have to focus on making a profit. 

Likes, views, members, users, followers and friends are fine but they don’t pay for groceries. At some point – and preferably from day one – you need to develop a very clear idea how any ‘fame’ you’re able to create, will convert into money in the bank. If it won’t convert into cash, you don’t have a business – you have a hobby.
