NORTH Vancouver
City is spending
$20,000 to find out if
a district energy system
—- which would harness
the energy of water in
the Burrard Inlet — is
feasible for the Lower
Lonsdale area.

The city will also explore
the possibility of getring into
the energy business by cither
owning or co-owning the
energy system. Inviting a pri-
vate company to finance and
run the system is also being
considered.

As originally reported in
the April 27 News, a system
for Lower Lonsdale would
supply heating energy from a
central source through under-
ground pipes to a number of
surrounding buildings.

Energy would be distrib-
uted to buildings in the form
of hot water or steam carried

through insulated pipes.

Some possible options tor
the central energy source
include: at ocean-source heat
pump (which would harness
the inherent energy = of
Burrard Inlet water), natural
gas-fired boilers, a geothermal
pump, and a combsnation af
sources.

The system is currently in
use in Vancouver by Central
Heat Distribution, which has
operated a steam-based dis:
trict heating system in the
dow ntown core for many
years. Similar energy systems
are rast commonly found in
large institutions such as
Vancouver General Hospiral
and the University of B.C.

City project engincer Ray
Fung, who made a presenta-
tion to counci! Monday night,
said the project fits in with the
city’s goal to be a sustainable
city.

“The goal is balanced envi-
ronmental impact, economic
impact and social impact,”
Fung said.

BC Transit is considering some changes to bus routes east of the
Seymour River beginning in September 1997. These changes could
involve a te-route of the #211 Seymour/Phibbs Exchange ioute to
operate the entire length of Mt. Seymour Parkway. Additional service
on the #215 Indian River/Phibbs Exchange route is also being

considered.

Your input is valuable in the transit planning process. We hope you
bring ideas and suggestions to our Open House on:

know ow much the project
will cost, he said council may
choose to look at the erviren-
mental benefits, like the sys-

tem's very low extission of

greenhouse gases, versus the
financial benefits.

Councillors were excited at
the project's possible
prospects, voting unanimous-
ly to conduct the feasibility
study,

Coun. Barbara Sharpe was
absent frum the meeting.

“1 think this is an exciting
possibility here to do the envt-
ronment and city some
goad,” Coun. Bab Fearnley
said.

Councillor Barbara
Perrault agreed: “It's an excit-
ing idea —~ harnessing energy
from the ocean, My concern is
should the municipality be
involved in a retail business?”
