This presentations looks at the engineering challenges of designing a low temperature district energy system that provides both heating and cooling for a low density housing development in Langford BC. How well were those challenges handled in the implementation and operation, based on the records of 8 years of operation. Challenges were numerous: including a mountainous and rocky site, an uncertain schedule of expansion, building in reliability and flexibility, and selecting suitable materials and equipment.
