Here at Nottingham we have just started talking about all that waste
heat from our hot glass shop. We have one furnace going 24/7 and another
two going in very soon. That's a gas bill around $ 2000 / month to keep
those glass furnaces going.
Would be lovely if we can work out some sort of heat exchange system to
use some of that to heat our resident studio during the winter. These
furnaces are only about 25 feet from one wall of the studio.

Anyone got ideas ?
