Summary
Data shows that some stations are up to 11.1 degrees Celsius warmer than outdoor air during heatwaves. 35 degrees on the platform: New York wants to convert subway heat into heating energy. The MTA described the thermal study as closely linked to a station renovation program that includes repairing tiles and mosaics, fixing leaks, upgrading lighting, and further maintenance at the 113-year-old site, the New York Post reported.
Furthermore, Radiation Cooling The drill holes are to be drilled at a depth of 500 to 600 feet (152 to 183 meters). Temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius The Chambers Street complex was selected because it is one of the hottest stations on the network. Average temperatures on the platforms peaked at 35.6 degrees Celsius last summer — a trend urban officials associate with general warming, the New York Post explained.
In addition, New York – New York City and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) are launching a feasibility study with a budget of $800,000. Beyond passenger comfort, the project is presented as an approach to reduce energy consumption in urban buildings near stations by exploiting a currently untapped resource.
