Business Details
FVB is assisting the Government of Canada in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions, reducing costs, and increasing the safety and reliability of the federal District Energy systems that provides heating and cooling to more than 80 buildings and approximately 2 million square meters of building space in the National Capital Area.
Under the Energy Services Acquisition Program (ESAP), through Public Works and Government Services Canada, the current steam-based system will be converted to a low temperature hot water technology. The ESAP will lower emissions by 60% - equivalent to taking 21,000 cars off the road. From 2016 to 2021, FVB have supported Corix in the design and construction of the Burnaby Mountain DEU Central.For years now, members of the Canadian biomass industry have been pointing to Europe as an example of successfully.

What is District Energy
District Energy Systems are networks of hot and cold water pipes, typically buried underground, that are used to efficiently heat and cool buildings using less energy than if the individual buildings were to each have their own boilers and chillers. DES can heat and cool buildings using less energy resources than Business-As-Usual (BAU) systems.
District Energy 101
District Energy Systems (DES) are thermal grids that distribute heating and cooling by transporting hot and cold water to various buildings in a community. Buildings on DES have no boilers, chillers or cooling towers. All of their heating and cooling is provided by the DES. DES heat and cool buildings using less energy sources than conventional boilers and chillers.
Who Needs District Energy
Municipalities have been at the forefront of District Energy Systems in Canada. Forward thinking municipalities have led the charge in energy reduction and District Energy has been at the core. Many municipalities big and small have realized that reducing energy consumption is crucial to the future prosperity of their communities.
District Energy Expertise
Energy is our business, district heating and cooling and combined heat and power systems are the focus. With decades of district energy experience, FVB brings specialized international expertise in this technology to North America. While energy system owners want an efficient system, they also want to reduce their carbon footprint.
District Cooling
Our district cooling experience is world-wide. For the International District Energy Association (IDEA), FVB literally "wrote the book" by authoring the District Cooling Best Practice Guide. This book, published in 2008, distilled FVB's many years of experience into comprehensive guide to design of district cooling systems.
