TD Centre
converts mechanical room into leasable penthouse, luxury space
Eliminating the need for noisy boilers and bulky chillers, Enwave’s district energy system allows a building owner to free up premium real estate which attracts world-class tenants.

Opportunity
TD Centre leads the way for district energy
The TD Centre property is owned and managed by Cadillac Fairview, the first customer to adopt Enwave’s Deep Lake Water Cooling technology (DLWC). This world-renowned system harnesses the cold temperatures of Lake Ontario to cool buildings in Toronto’s downtown core.
Solution
Cooling with cold water from Lake Ontario
On-site cooling, heating and hot water systems can account for significant electricity and maintenance costs. As an alternative to traditional air conditioning, TD Centre connected to the central Deep Lake Water Cooling system, eliminating the need to install separate systems in each building. District energy has reduced energy and water consumption, improved reliability for tenants and allowed the space typically used for mechanical equipment to be converted into prime leasable square footage.
Results
TD Centre reduces cooling costs
District energy reduces the need for on-site equipment in each building. Since connecting to the system, TD Centre has achieved LEED-Platinum certification and replaced 13,000 tons of chiller capacity.

Successes
