Enwave\u2019s \u201cSewer Heat Recovery system,\u201d an innovative technology that heats and cools buildings with recycled thermal energy from nearby pipelines, will be the largest clean technology system of its kind in North America.<\/p>\n<p>Increasingly, modern campuses, municipalities, and districts are looking for sustainable energy solutions to harness both environmental and economic benefits. This new district energy technology, custom-built for the National Western Center, an urban campus intended as a year-round global destination for agriculture, western heritage and culture, will help the center meet its ambitious clean energy goals. As Enwave\u2019s first project in this region, it symbolizes the company\u2019s rapid expansion and success in new cities across North America.<\/p>\n<p>Enwave\u2019s novel technology will contribute to the city of Denver\u2019s climate action plan to reduce carbon emissions. Using Enwave\u2019s system, the 250-acre campus will avoid emitting an estimated 2,600 metric tons of carbon (CO2) per year \u2014 the equivalent of eliminating 6.6 million vehicle passenger miles driven in Denver annually \u2014 and will promote better air quality and health for the surrounding neighborhoods.\u00a0\u00a0The benefits of this system include high efficiency, lower capital costs, and a reliable and resilient energy source during outages.<\/p>\n<p>EAS is the National Western Center\u2019s official energy partner. It includes Enwave, the largest core-competency district energy provider in North America, AECOM Technical Services Inc., and Denver-based Saunders Construction. AECOM and Saunders formed a design-build joint venture to design and deliver the project. This combination uses AECOM\u2019s design expertise and specialist abilities in energy master planning and sewer heat recovery and Saunders\u2019 well-established competence in this type of construction in the Denver area. EAS is responsible for delivering local district and renewable energy solutions and maintaining their long-term operations and efficiency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Sewer Heat Recovery Works<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The planned system uses both sewer-heat recovery and a district energy approach. Enwave\u2019s system will pull thermal energy from nearby sewer pipes to source nearly 90 percent of the campus\u2019s heating and cooling. A heat pump will capture the warmth of wastewater and transfer it to a clean water pipe that enters individual buildings. It is a closed-loop system, meaning the wastewater does not touch the clean water. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enwave.com\/resources\/what-is-district-energy\/\">District energy<\/a> systems then pump warm water from a central plant to a group of buildings, instead of each building having its own heating and cooling system.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about how the system operates, please see the National Western Center\u2019s site <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalwesterncenter.com\/energy\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Quotes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe in the power of more sustainable cities, and we know working with partners such as the National Western Center with a shared commitment to climate action and innovation is the key to building this future. Our sewer heat recovery technology will enable the campus to meet its ambitious clean energy goals. This a testament to Enwave\u2019s capacity to develop innovative, resilient and financially feasible low-carbon solutions.\u201d\u2014 <strong>Doug Castleberry, President and Chief Operating Officer, Enwave USA.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe made a promise to be at the forefront of sustainability, and we&#8217;re delivering.
