Using wastewater for heat

Happy May!! Happily, not all the news is crappy!

Toronto Western Hospital is just commissioning the world’s largest wastewater heating system. Yup, the hospital will be getting 90% of its heat from the sewer system beneath the streets of Toronto. If that sounds crappy, consider the hospital will get upgraded heating systems and save $700,000 per year in operating costs…The project uses next generation technology and the City of Toronto is so jazzed about the potential for wastewater heating they have created a searchable, online waste water map so you can find out if your project could use wastewater heat. Here is a direct video link.
