"Using excess body heat to warm a building is not a new concept - the Mall of America in Minneapolis recycles the heat generated from shoppers' bodies to help regulate the temperature of the massive complex during Minnesota's dreadful winters. But Stockholm has taken the idea a step further by successfully transferring excess body heat from one building to another. "This is old technology, but used in a new way," Sundholm explains. "It's just pipes, water and pumps, but we haven't heard of anyone else using this technology in this way before." (See the top 10 green ideas of 2009.)"
