Unless outside the temperature drops mow 15 degrees the saving in Oil and Energy is startling a person of average size radiates or wastes 330 bus British Thermal units of heal per hour about the same As a 100-Watt bulb save William Draper assistant manager for at to Energy conservation pro Gram. One Btu is the heat required to raise inc temperature of one Pound of water by am degree fahrenheit. Heat captured from employees saves the equivalent of one barrel of Oil a Dav. He add the saving each month from body heat is equivalent to enough Oil to heat an aver age size House Lor a year. Draper Esti mates or it would exceed the Energy in the gasoline needed to drive a car daily for one month the 4m Mill s round trip from new York to Washington. Do so your own body helps a bit to keep your own House or apartment warmth 350 bus per hour Are enough to bring a Kettle of water to a boil in less thana hour that sounds High for a single human body  but your body is about 75 per cent water. Draper explains. And dissipates heat to maintain All that water at your Normal temperature of 98 6 degree your heat comes from food turned into simple fuels measured in calories. In Btu a heavier person product s More heat. Xci Lemeul and physical activity Wisl the output and some people have a higher metabolism a thermostat than others letting them consume More calories without gain ing pounds Hie heating system  on these physiological principles plus the fact that 9 1 per rent of the Energy from an elect Ric Light bulb is heat rather than Light. Draper save. So is b5 per cent of the Energy in a fluorescent fixture reclaiming body heat in some form is not unique say John Washburn. Manager of design and construction and Robert Kenrec. Building manager. What is unusual they say. Is total re covery of heal and control by a Cen trial computer which is a Busy brain not Only for the heating system but for about a dozen other tasks. The computer keeps labs through thermostats on temperature in every room and one of at to s Energy saving warm bodies helping to heat the office. Area from the warmer Central Core id peripheral rooms where outside air cools the Walls it then decides where heat or cooler air is needed it controls heat Levels in a building with some 2 million Square feel of space equal to one of the two world Trade Center towers dominating new York City s sky line. Body and other heat is recovered in a system consisting of fans condensers water pumps chillers and refrigeration machines. Excess heat is stored at 125 de Grees in tanks with 60.000-gallon capacity it is released at night to keep the building warm. On extremely cold Days the elec tric boiler May be turned on briefly to computer monitors Points in building for controlling heat recovery. Bring night temperature to a More comfortable level just before employees arrive to contribute their own heat. In summer excess heat is dissipated through Cooling towers. The Minneapolis Honeywell h-316 com pier permits an employee to order less or More heat or Light for his office. It keeps track of Carbon monoxide Levels in a 3.000 car garage and turns on fans to reduce any Hazard it cuts off fans or other non Essen tial electric equipment when Brown outs threaten it also monitors Security guard operations in All the computer monitors 1.000 Points scanning 50.000 bits of information a second using body heat in this novel Way to part of a grander design at at to to maintain Zero Energy growth which Means using no More Energy next year than last while still expanding operations and manufacturing say Sid Collis. Assistant vice president for inventory management Energy and environment. For example the number of telephones made by at to s Bell system was in Creasid by 5 million last year. Normally this would have required about 5 per Cen More Energy through conservation we have not had to increase our Energy re  Hes avs some savings come through recycling components of the Telephone plastics. Which come from Oil. And Lead and Copper. Some 120.000 Toas of Copper Are recycled by Bell each year saving 83 per cent of the Energy needed to mine new Copper. Colli says Copper is a non renewable resource once it is mined there is less in the Earth for the future but body heat comes from something hat is renew Able the food we eat
