Toronto wants buildings to tap into its sewage for heating

Heating large buildings like hospitals can be costly. However, a new construction project, called “the world’s largest raw wastewater energy project,” is underway at Toronto Western Hospital and promises to change all that. 

When the system turns on in June, the raw wastewater energy project will supply 90% of the campus heating and cooling, according to Noventa Energy Partners, the Toronto company behind the project. It is also expected to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 8,400 tonnes yearly, equivalent to removing 1,811 cars from the road.
