Heat energy is being captured from people dancing to help a Glasgow venue reduce its carbon emissions.

Glasgow arts venue SWG3 has switched on a system that creates renewable energy from the body heat on its dancefloor.

The owners say this will enable them to completely disconnect the venue's gas boilers, reducing its carbon emissions by about 70 tonnes of CO2 a year.David Townsend, founder of geothermal energy consultancy TownRock Energy, who designed the system, Bodyheat, told BBC News: "When you start dancing, medium pace, to the Rolling Stones or something, you might be generating 250W.

Three years in the making, the thermal heating and cooling system cost just over £600,000 to install. "It's a great way to store the energy. Over time, you set up a sort of equilibrium whereby you may only lose a few degrees as it dissipates.
