WATER AND WASTERWATER FEATURE: Energy from sewage is driving a net-zero goal for SquamishNation .
Ian HarveyCREATIVE ENERGY — A zero-carbon district energy system will provide heating and cooling to each building in the $1.4 billion Sen̓áḵw development. Over the next 30 years, the district energy system will reduce carbon emissions by 140,000 tonnes relative to a typical natural-gas-based system, which is equivalent to planting 5.5 Stanley Parks or 165,000 acres of trees.
The Kits Point Residents Association has filed a court action seeking judicial review of the deal to service the project approved in camera by Vancouver council. They worry about increased traffic from the anticipated 12,000 new residents. They are also redeveloping their original downtown Vancouver facility with the ultimate goal of de-carbonizing it.
It’s an expansive system with cooling towers on the roof and the design takes advantage of the vertical structures. The plan by Creative Energy is to tap into the geothermal energy of the Metro Vancouver Regional District sewer and extract heat in winter and cooling in summer, Mandelbaum says. There is also redundant back up and auxiliary systems engineered in. For peak usage during winter cold snaps, electric boilers will be online while there are also natural gas boilers for back up, Mandelbaum says.
