VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed a thin, flexible and plastic-free heater to help in lowering the energy consumption at homes and offices, and also to achieve individual comfort temperatures. When attached to seats, walls or floors, heaters can in the future identify their users and immediately generate heat to the individual temperature preferences of the occupants.
