hi I'm Mike Holmes I spend my life
00:00:03.800 00:00:03.810 trying to build better and I'm proud to
00:00:06.079 00:00:06.089 be working on an exciting new project
00:00:07.780 00:00:07.790 imagine more energy less waste reduced
00:00:11.509 00:00:11.519 co2 emissions and lower costs today this
00:00:15.320 00:00:15.330 is possible thanks to a system called
00:00:17.210 00:00:17.220 combined heat and power a reliable
00:00:20.000 00:00:20.010 technology that can change the way we
00:00:21.740 00:00:21.750 use and produce energy the Boyle
00:00:23.960 00:00:23.970 Renaissance project in the city of
00:00:25.670 00:00:25.680 Edmonton is using this technology to
00:00:27.769 00:00:27.779 connect buildings into a district energy
00:00:29.929 00:00:29.939 system it starts with a 380 kilowatt
00:00:33.229 00:00:33.239 microgeneration system operated in
00:00:35.750 00:00:35.760 partnership with Enmax corporation soon
00:00:38.389 00:00:38.399 this system will be installed on the new
00:00:40.310 00:00:40.320 roof of the maytee capital housing
00:00:42.530 00:00:42.540 corporations phase 2 building a
00:00:44.810 00:00:44.820 residential complex for seniors and
00:00:47.119 00:00:47.129 people with disabilities using a cleaner
00:00:49.880 00:00:49.890 natural gas this chp system produces
00:00:52.729 00:00:52.739 electricity and provides power to the
00:00:54.740 00:00:54.750 phase 2 complex the electricity of
00:00:57.380 00:00:57.390 produces can also feed back into the
00:00:59.330 00:00:59.340 city grid when you generate electricity
00:01:01.520 00:01:01.530 heat is also produced normally this heat
00:01:04.880 00:01:04.890 is lost but a CHP system captures this
00:01:07.760 00:01:07.770 heat and uses it to heat water the hot
00:01:10.460 00:01:10.470 water is then used as regular domestic
00:01:12.649 00:01:12.659 hot water like for showers and laundry
00:01:14.870 00:01:14.880 but it's also used to heat the building
00:01:16.990 00:01:17.000 to increase efficiency the Boyle
00:01:19.760 00:01:19.770 Renaissance CHP system will generate
00:01:22.010 00:01:22.020 electricity but will also provide heaps
00:01:24.530 00:01:24.540 of both phase one and two working
00:01:27.260 00:01:27.270 together each building supplies an
00:01:29.210 00:01:29.220 efficient heat and backup system that
00:01:31.280 00:01:31.290 can flow in either direction between
00:01:33.410 00:01:33.420 both buildings the Boyle Renaissance
00:01:35.990 00:01:36.000 project makes sense it maximizes energy
00:01:38.929 00:01:38.939 efficiency and reduces greenhouse gas
00:01:41.179 00:01:41.189 emissions the equivalent of taking five
00:01:44.090 00:01:44.100 thousand cars off the road over its
00:01:46.249 00:01:46.259 lifetime
00:01:46.850 00:01:46.860 there are CHP and district energy
00:01:49.719 00:01:49.729 installations all over the world but for
00:01:52.429 00:01:52.439 the first time in the city of Edmonton
00:01:54.050 00:01:54.060 two different buildings across a public
00:01:56.480 00:01:56.490 right-of-way not to mention two
00:01:58.429 00:01:58.439 different building owners are working
00:02:00.649 00:02:00.659 together using CHP this team is possible
00:02:04.459 00:02:04.469 thanks to the support of the City of
00:02:06.200 00:02:06.210 Edmonton province of Alberta and federal
00:02:09.320 00:02:09.330 of Canada CHP and district energy are
00:02:13.220 00:02:13.230 smart technologies I like that they are
00:02:15.680 00:02:15.690 reliable and cost-effective a more
00:02:18.200 00:02:18.210 environmentally responsible choice for
00:02:20.900 00:02:20.910 generating localized heat and power not
00:02:23.630 00:02:23.640 just for the future but for today
