North Campus Low-Carbon Heating System (Project SWITCH)
 |
|
Integrated Energy Master Plan (IEMP)
Created in 2015 as a response to the climate crisis, the IEMP outlines a comprehensive plan to meet significant energy efficiency, greenhouse gas and water reduction goals by 2034. The IEMP will deliver deep retrofits to existing infrastructure and ensure new campus buildings are among the most efficient in the world.
Project SWITCH
Humber Polytechnic Decarbonization Initiative
Project SWITCH replaces the North Campus’ ageing steam heat system with a new low-carbon hot water distribution network, substantially reducing natural gas use by about 70 % and cutting campus carbon emissions while enabling future electric-based heat sources.
