David Townsend (01:54):

this is definitely one of the better known venues in Glasgow and it always gets really sweaty and I tend to be up the front in the middle of the crowd and it just gets so hot in there

So I was just aware that this happened for a long time, like the last 12- 15 years.

David Townsend (04:48):

so there's all this heat getting generated, which gets wasted. It's not used for anything

David Townsend (05:33):

So having been to plenty of clubs and gotten really hot and als o working in geothermal energy

David Townsend (05:49):

thought, instead of us chucking all that waste heat out into the atmosphere and then burning gas the next morning to heat the place up before people come, let's just store that heat.

SW3G manager

Will (05:17):

What was your first thought when David came to you with this idea?

Andrew Fleming-Brown (06:20):

I think the first time you mention it to anyone, it's just like, "That's absolutely ridiculous." The next thing people ask is, "Does it smell?" And you're like, "No. It doesn't. It doesn't at all."

TEXT: But how does it work?

GFX: FULL FRAME GFX

WS: GFX night club ppl dancing. Highlight big box above D/floor and heat rising

CU: Heat being blown through a radiator type thing – cool air coming out other side

WS: Heat travelling through pipes to another room

Zoom in on room where heats gets transferred.

Zoom out -12 red Pipes come out of the room and go down into the ground an back up again as blue pipes.

30 SEC GFX

DAVID: It starts with a big box above the dancefloor that sucks up air - the heat from that air is extracted and transferred into a fluid using the same technology that’s in your fridge.

That heat travels through copper pipes to a room where the heat transferred again, but into water

That water is pumped down 200 metres through a series of pipe loops, transferring the heat into the ground as it travels.

That heat is now stored for future use – and we can bring it back up again using the same process we used to store it there in the first place

David giving a tour through garden

David (00:09):

So there's actually a borehole underneath the ground right here, a few meters down, and it goes down 200 meters. and we've got 12 of them out here,

David looking at equipment in garden

David (07:36):

The whole project all in, now that it's finished, I think is 600,000 pounds,

Will (07:41):

So that's about a million in Australia.

David (08:25):

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we've estimated it's gonna pay back over about five years and that's from energy savings, so that's a, a really good payback.

THOUGHT TRACK

David walking through garden to the pump room

So we just left the community garden and the pipes are running underneath us here. Running into the pump room which is where the magic happens

Pump room actuality

David (13:40):

Alrighty, come on in. So power supply heat pumps, circulating pipes.

David (16:46):

Yeah, so currently we're circulating water into the boreholes at 18 degrees and we're circulating it back out at 14 degrees.

When you’re not doing anything, you might generate 50 watts for heat, but when you’re full pelt you can generate 500 watts of heat, if you have 1000 people in here… that’s enough to heat 65 homes and a lot of gas that isn’t being burnt.

David Townsend (17:20):

in the UK about 50% of our energy demand is for heating. And it's about 40% of our carbon emissions come from heating buildings and from industrial heating processes.

David Townsend (17:46):

It's similar on a global scale if you look at both heating and cooling because we just don't really think about it. But so much fossil energy is used just to heat and cool our buildings, just to keep us comfortable . And it's enormously wasteful, and this system demonstrates that we don't have to be wasteful

David Townsend Master IV

David Townsend (13:44):

We should be all talking about geothermal energy as the renewable energy source that's going to get us away from fossil fuels because it is the most efficient, lowest cost way of doing renewable heating.

People lining up for club

Andrew Fleming-Brown (10:37):

I think what's really struck a chord with our audience in particular is how they are participating in the system. It's not an environmental system that's been conjured up by scientists and it does feel very removed. No. You come to the venue, you come to the club, you come to gig, and by dancing and enjoying yourself, you are contributing to a net zero heating and cooling system.

David Townsend (22:44):

I think it's drum and base. I think drum and base generates the most heat, because I've been in some very sweaty drum and bass gigs.
