November's BCSEA Climate and Energy Solutions Webinar was on the topic of District Energy - the pioneering method of providing heat to the buildings in a city neighbourhood by channelling waste heat from a nearby industry, sewage plant, or ice rink.
In Sweden, 80,000 people in the Stockholm suburb of Hammarsby are being heated by District Energy - so what is happening in North America - and here in British Columbia?
Our presenter is Tom Osdoba, Managing Director of the Center for Sustainable Business Practices at the University of Oregon College of Business. He will give us an illustrated presentation on the emerging thinking about scale and new opportunities for capturing waste heat, and other novel sources of heat.
As Sustainable Economic Development Manager for the City of Portland, Tom created a framework for a sustainable regional economy, launched a collaborative, multi-sector sustainability institute, and created innovative clean energy investment strategies. As Sustainability Director for the City of Vancouver, he led initiatives for climate protection, green building and development, economic development strategy, and purchasing, including award-winning initiatives for neighborhood-scale clean energy systems, and community engagement on energy and climate change.
The BC Sustainable Energy Association invites you to attend these monthly Climate and Energy Solutions Webinars to expand upon important developments in the fields of sustainable energy and climate change. Log in through your computer's web browser to see and hear the presentations.
