The new hospital is home to Canada’s largest geothermal system. It sits approximately 600 feet below the hospital’s parking lot, and provides 100 per cent of the ground source geothermal heating.
The new Western Memorial Regional Hospital was recently 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 sits approximately 600 feet below the hospital’s parking lot, and provides 100 per cent of the ground source geothermal heating. James Wiseman is the Senior Director of Facilities and Support Services. He says this new system was thought of during the planning process for the new building. Wiseman says environment sustainability was a big part of the overall building design. The LEED silver certification is an international symbol of sustainability excellence and green building leadership.
