These apartment buildings will be heated by sewage — yes, really
- Sen̓áḵw is a residential development in Vancouver led by the Squamish Nation, featuring 6,000 rental apartments across 11 towers, including affordable housing for Indigenous communities.
- The project incorporates a $30-million district energy system that captures heat from Vancouver's main sewage line to provide heating for the buildings, saving an estimated 4,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually.
- This energy system involves hot-tapping into a large sewer main with pipes and heat pumps, distributing heat while using boilers only as backups.
