このエピソードについて
Underneath the streets of downtown Toronto, there exists a massive system of pipes that use water drawn from the depths of Lake Ontario to help cool the skyscrapers above. This system, the largest of its kind in the world, is just one of a slate of creative solutions employed by Enwave, one of North America’s foremost district energy operators.
Carlyle Coutinho is the CEO of Enwave, a company that works in concert with governments and real-estate developers to help Canadian cities identify more efficient and sustainable ways to heat and cool themselves.
As Canada looks to build more housing to serve its growing population, finding more energy efficient ways to power these new developments will be critical. So will this focus on housing lead to new contracts for Enwave? Or could a downturn in the Canadian real estate market make governments and developers less likely to invest in new energy solutions?
Let’s find out.
