Summary
North Vancouver utility Lonsdale Energy has started construction on a facility which would reuse and upgrade the energy from hot water produced by locals, sustainably heating buildings and shrinking its carbon emissions.
The start of work on the six-megawatt Urban Heat Recovery Centre was announced mid-July. Thermal energy from residents doing the dishes, washing their clothes, showering and rinsing their hands with hot and warm water that would otherwise be wasted is to be recovered and enhanced with electric heat pumps. The heat would then be distributed across Lonsdale’s community energy network to the city's homes and businesses.
Once operational, more than 18,000 residents and over 120 buildings in the City of North Vancouver are expected to be serviced by the facility. Construction is expected to be finished by late 2027.
