Geothermal Heating System for Selkirk College, Nelson, BC Canada
According to Alex Love of Nelson Hydro: “A partnership was developed between the City of Nelson and Selkirk College where Nelson Hydro partnered with the city and undertook a project to install a geoexchange [TM] heating system for the dormitory.”
The City of Nelson and Nelson Hydro are looking at creating district heating, an efficient, communal approach to heating systems in local communities.
The Selkirk geothermal heating system will heat the college with a lower carbon footprint than if natural gas had been used.
