| Enwave: another neighborhood story... |
[Aug. 14th, 2005|12:57 pm] |
When you bike around toronto's downtown core.. you can't help but notice the odd Enwave buildings. They seem like big smokestacks (but aren't) with no big building/factory-- just the stack. And what they're doing, is sucking up the cold from deep in lake ontario and cooling buildings. Its actually the largest geothermal heat pumping system in the world. And it works! They already service over 130 of toronto's main buildings, including the air canada center (where the Maple Leafs play-- sometimes it has to be somewhat cold in there, right?) as well as the banking towers and fancy-pants hotels. Last month they signed their first retailer the Hudsons Smallpox-- I mean Bay Corporation (I like the fact that the HBC cares about energy efficiency, but they sell plastic and other unsustainable crap, and have a crappy history). But Enwave is a great story.. and really it's very much the story of one man:
