Vancouver, False Creek Energy Centre
You got that heat from where? The first facility of its kind in North America, the False Creek Energy Centre captures heat from wastewater and sewage then returns that heat to buildings. Its remarkable technology eliminates more than 60 per cent of the global warming pollution associated with heating buildings. Tucked under the Cambie Street Bridge, the most visible section of this building are its “fingers” that light up depending on how much energy is used. Architects from Francl Architecture will be on-site to talk about the building and answer questions about the design.
