Endress+Hauser’s Customer Experience Centre demonstrates environmental leadership by operating on a net-zero energy and carbon basis.

The building demonstrates environmental leadership by operating on a net-zero energy and carbon basis.

The facility was designed to extremely demanding environmental standards. The building generates its own electricity, heat, and cooling. It boasts a reflective roof with double-sided solar panels to generate green power during the day. At night, most electrically powered systems like video monitors will be turned off rather than draw even standby power and the building environment is maintained by heat pumps supplemented by a geothermal system.

Most of the heating and cooling in Waterloo Region could be done via geoexchange technology because of the area’s unique hydrogeology.

This discovery means the potential of viable geoexchange technology is much greater in the region than previously thought. The two aquifers provide Waterloo Region with a unique opportunity, says Matthew Day, program manager with WR Community Energy, the organization co-ordinating the region’s move to switch to renewable sources of energy.

"Our power plants capture the waste heat to generate electricity more efficiently, whilst reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Renewable geothermal cooling systems and heat from the data centre will be utilized to regulate climate within the data centre." stated in a press release by Validus Power Corp.

The North Bay site will enable Hut 8 to generate power using a blend of by-product steam, hydrogen and natural gas along with a secondary geothermal system that ties in the data centre facility.

Software and tech giant Microsoft is setting up a large-scale geothermal system to utilize hundreds of wells with heat pumps.

The company says this is likely one of the largest systems like this in North America and with 875 wells drilled it is expected to start operation in 2023.

Across the GTA, a growing number of condo buildings are being powered, heated and cooled using solar and geothermal technologies that draw on energy generated by the sun and earth, respectively.

With the Toronto Green Standard on track to require new buildings to have close to zero carbon emissions by 2030, many developers are getting ahead of the curve.
