Geothermal Heat in Toronto

Renewable energy systems are gaining market share due to their diverse solutions, decreasing costs, and improved efficiency, safety, and cleanliness compared to traditional sources.

Geothermal heat is becoming mainstream in Toronto, with a significant reduction in carbon emissions achievable without significant risk or changes to existing infrastructure.

We can get a 70 per cent carbon reduction without breaking a sweat. That’s really easy without taking on a lot of risk. Everything in the building is business as usual: The distribution system, the thermostats, the heat pumps, the entire mechanical. We’re just slapping on a bore field.

Geothermal energy is not limited to single buildings, but can also be used in district energy systems to heat and cool multiple buildings, such as the University of Toronto's St. George Campus and a subdivision in Markham.
