Mayor @ZohranKMamdani: Anyone who has stood on a subway platform in August knows that our stations do not just get hot. They turn into underground saunas. This new thermal energy study will explore the possibility of using the heat that accumulates in this station over the summer to heat the municipal campus above us come winter. We would capture heat in boreholes underground and install a system of circulating pipes that use the heat to warm our municipal offices. This would be the first thermal energy system of its kind in any American transit system, a historic feat that would not only help the city to save money and limit steam consumption, but help us mitigate the extreme level of heat in our subway stations.
