Cities account for 70% of the world's energy consumption. Almost 50% of the energy is used for heating or cooling. District energy systems are one of the most effective ways to mitigate climate change.*

In partnership with Mattamy Homes Canada, the residents of the new Springwater community in Markham, Ontario, will enjoy year-round heating and cooling from GeoExchange technology provided by Enwave. Harnessing the thermal energy from the ground, this sustainable system operates up to 4x more efficient than natural gas furnaces, requires no direct fossil fuels to run, and involves little maintenance. A clean, reliable, and highly efficient heating and cooling system that helps residents contribute to the City of Markham’s emissions reduction targets.
Connecting to our network removes the need for in-house equipment, saving on total life cycle costs while freeing up valuable space. We also work closely with building owners to meet sustainability and LEED objectives.
We bring the planning for heating, cooling and power together for the most optimal balance of cost, sustainability and resilience.
District energy is a key tool in building the cities of the future. It supports a path to meeting sustainability and energy objectives while enabling development objectives, and benefiting the local economy.
We meet the heating and cooling needs for many leading hospitals. Our ability to serve both the needs of patient care and critical research centers is core to our reliable and resilient operations.
We develop district energy solutions that enable educational institutions to meet their growth and sustainability objectives, allowing them to focus financial resources on educational priorities.
Our district energy solutions provide residential developments with a lower cost of ownership while giving homeowners the pride that comes with contributing to a sustainable future.
At Enwave, we create the most resilient, efficient and sustainable district energy networks in North America. These intelligent networks connect businesses, residences and institutions within shared energy systems that optimize green energy sources, adapt to energy demands, and withstand unforeseen events. Moving energy forward means bringing infrastructure, technology and people together in a seamless, uninterrupted synergy, making life and work better.
We provide solutions that are designed to meet customer needs. We have the capability to be innovative, both in terms of technology and business models. We reduce or eliminate capital investment, lower life cycle costs, improve reliability and sustainability.
We provide solutions that enhance the customer experience. We help building owners maximize the value to stakeholders, whether they're tenants, shoppers, patients or students. We provide reliable service that enables building owners to create productive and healthy environments.
We enable developers and municipalities to participate in energy infrastructure that is future-proofed. Our scale enables the incorporation of technologies, now and in the future, that are not possible with an "in-house" solution.
We value our relationships with our customers and the cities in which we operate. We are a key part of the long-term planning for cities and provide building owners with predictable and reliable solutions that support their long-term investments.
Enwave is a proven infrastructure investor that owns and operates systems in eleven cities in North America: Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, New Orleans, Seattle, Las Vegas, London, Charlottetown, Windsor and Portland. Each of these systems has been developed with the particular needs and assets of the local community in mind.
As a leader in sustainability, Enwave is at the forefront of energy innovation. We strive to implement energy-efficiency solutions in everything we do, from introducing low-carbon technologies to finding new ways to share and optimize energy use. In each community we serve, we build strong partnerships to help ease the transition to district energy, always on the lookout for scalable opportunities that focus on long-term benefits.
Let’s talk about how we can make you more sustainable, reliable and efficient.
