A legendary nightclub in Glasgow, SWG3, is reopening its doors during COP26, unveiling its radical green plan to reach net zero by 2025.
Our favorite feature? Dance Energy. Yes, you read that right. SWG3 teamed up with TownRock Energy to implement BODYHEAT—a state-of-the-art heating/cooling system that takes the heat emanating from dancing bodies and transforms into a source of energy.
