A project to use waste heat to power James Cook Hospital and other public buildings has been launched in Middlesbrough, England, according to an article on the Gazette Live website.
The £40m plan will use excess heat from nearby industry and two energy plants to reduce the £4.5m a year energy bill at the hospital. The program will then be rolled out elsewhere in the town.
Rather than being lost into the atmosphere, industrial waste heat from would be channelled through a network of pipes to complement the hospital’s energy supply.
The hospital uses 75 million kilo-watt hours a year whereas an average home uses about 16,000 kilo-watt hours.
