It is approximately 600 feet below the hospital’s parking lot, and provides 100 per cent of the ground source geothermal heating for the hospital.
There’s a groundbreaking system in place at the new Western Memorial Regional Hospital that is being recognized by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design® (LEED®) with Silver Certification. The new hospital is home to Canada’s largest geothermal system. It is approximately 600 feet below the hospital’s parking lot, and provides 100 per cent of the ground source geothermal heating for the hospital. It provides 12 per cent total cost savings over the life span of 30 years and was also key in eliminating cooling towers, saving up to two million gallons of water per year. The LEED silver certification is an international symbol of sustainability excellence and green building leadership. LEED® certification provides independent, third-party verification that a building project was designed and built, or operated, to achieve high performance in human and environmental health.
