The new low temperature water-based heating system at the UBC campus can now accept solar thermal and geothermal heat into the system from the Green CIRS Building and other buildings
Green Energy Futures:
The CIRS green bulding on UBC has both solar thermal and geotheraml energy that can be added into the new low temperature district heating system.
Green Energy Futures:
The CIRS green building gets most of it's heat from heat exchangers installed on the exhaust systems of the adjacent Earth and Ocean Sciences building. WIth a new low temperature water-based heating system UBC will be able to integrate this sort of heat i
