Enwave’s investments in intelligent energy solutions are powering a booming economy and high-tech sector, and delivering long-term benefits for the City of Toronto.
Enwave’s industry-leading Deep Lake Cooling system is the largest of its kind, harnessing the cold temperature of the water at the bottom of Lake Ontario to cool hospitals, data centres, educational campuses, government, commercial and residential buildings. This innovative technology displaces 55MW of energy a year from the grid that would otherwise be needed for traditional approaches to cooling.
Cadillac Fairview was one of the first customers in Toronto to connect its TD Centre’s six office towers and covered pavilion to Enwave’s Deep Lake Water Cooling system. Now a LEED Platinum-certified complex, the space typically used for mechanical equipment was also converted into a highly sought-after penthouse that has attracted world-class tenants.
It takes a lot of energy to cool more than 2.6 million square feet of office space. Since connecting to Enwave’s Deep Lake Water Cooling system, Brookfield Place has eliminated the need for conventional chiller plants.
Our internationally recognized district energy system displaces 55 MW of energy annually from Toronto’s grid otherwise needed for traditional approaches to cooling.
The Well is a visionary mixed-use development by RioCan REIT and Allied Properties REIT, featuring more than 3 million square feet of office and residential space. As part of the development, Enwave invested in a an innovative thermal battery that creates and stores energy at night, leveraging off-peak costs. The green and clean technology expands the Deep Lake Water Cooling system to support growth in Toronto’s west end. It also supplies a hot water network to deliver resilient heating and cooling to The Well and nearby communities.
Part of the University Health Network (UHN), Toronto General Hospital has freed up capital funds, thanks to Enwave’s Deep Lake Water Cooling system. In addition to greater resiliency and the reliable energy critical to provide health services, UHN can now better focus on its mandate by channeling resources into patient care, research or life-saving equipment. For other nearby buildings, tapping into the hospital’s new system is a progressive way to avoid costly and difficult HVAC retrofits.
Deep Lake Water Cooling provides an outsourced alternative to traditional cooling towers and equipment – often a major capital and operating cost for large buildings.
As part of the Transform TO Climate Action Plan, which outlines ways to improve the city's health, grow the economy and improve social equity, district energy was identified as a key strategy. In 2017, Enwave was selected by Toronto's City Council to help accelerate the implementation of the City's plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make the city more resilient.
