UVic’s heating system is comprised of a loop of underground piping, providing heat and hot water to 32 buildings across campus. The system is serviced by natural gas-fired boilers located in the Engineering Lab Wing, the McKinnon building and the Cadboro Commons building.
The project re-examined previous studies done for UVic on district energy system (DES) renewable energy options and process optimization, in light of new technology developments. Two options were studies in more detail; biomass and ground-source high-temp heat pumps/solar thermal. Biomass
The University of Victoria has a natural gas powered district energy system (DES) that services heating loads in several buildings located around campus. The existing natural gas boilers are reaching their end of life and work has started to replace the existing boilers with higher e ciency units.
Options for Reducing UVic's District Energy System Emission. Final Report. Project Summary. Reducing the carbon intensity of the District Energy System (DES) is important to achieve the 2019 Action Plan carbon reduction goal, and integrating alternative technology (non-natural gas) will be critical for achieving subsequent emission reduction ...
The document summarizes plans to revitalize UVic's district energy system. It discusses replacing aging boiler plants, achieving 10% energy savings, and allowing for future alternative energy integration.
The plant provides increased capacity and efficiency to UVic's heating system. The new building demonstrates UVic’s commitment to leadership in sustainability through various strategies including: rainwater-harvesting, use of structure wood, and high efficiency glazing.
N The University of Victoria’s new district energy plant (DEP) replaces a system of outdated and inefficient boilers scattered throughout the campus with a consolidated system serving 32...
