Ocean Thermal Energy
Purdy’s Wharf in Halifax was the province’s first large-scale project to use temperate differences in the ocean for cooling.
The new Waterside Centre in Halifax will also use seawater to heat and cool.
The Alderney 5 Project underground seasonal thermal storage system connects five municipal buildings on the Dartmouth waterfront. It is the first large-scale application of geothermal seasonal cold-energy storage anywhere in the world. The system collects cold energy from seawater during winter months to chill an underground rock mass and then uses the stored thermal energy to meet air conditioning needs in warmer months by using 100 per cent renewable energy.
