Hidden beneath the streets of Budapest lie two ‘heat centre’ rooms which provide heating and cooling for much of the city’s administrative buildings, including the District IV mayor’s office. One of these heat centres is below a car park, the other is in the basement of one of the buildings it services. Inside each is a heat pump which uses energy from the waste water flowing through the main sewers and converts it into heat for the buildings above, making is fully sustainable.
