The City of Markham, in partnership with Mattamy Homes and Enwave, is using GeoExchange technology in this ground-breaking collaboration to provide a sustainable energy source to heat and cool a new community of homes.
As one of the newest communities in the vibrant city of Markham, Springwater provides residents with living spaces that are outfitted with low-carbon technology. Enwave’s GeoExchange energy system is capable of using zero direct fossil fuels for heating the homes resulting in up to 75% reduction in carbon emissions compared to typical home with a natural gas furnace.
GeoExchange is a sustainable energy system that harnesses thermal energy from the ground.
In winter, the community pipes absorb heat from the ground, concentrate it, and send it to the heat pump in each home. In summer, the reverse happens: the heat pump cools the hot air in each home with the cooler temperatures from the ground.
Let’s talk about how we can make you more sustainable, reliable and efficient.
