As much fun as they might have with it no, the kids aren't going to be drinking the stuff. The Tynecastle High school in Edinburgh, Scotland will be getting a new building by 2010, and part of the new plan is to cut energy costs by using waste heat from the neighboring North British Distillery to heat the classrooms. Water will pass from the school through to a heat exchanger where it will be warmed by the distillery's wasted energy. The project initially added an extra £200,000 to the cost of the new building but it is expected to pay for itself in savings after only 4 years.Interesting thought: if you live in that area now buying a bottle of whiskey is suddenly something you can do "for the children."
