Toronto’s Financial District

April 20th, 2007

In case you are looking for the Financial District, you can find it directly above PATH, which connects more than 50 office towers and 20 parking garages. The Financial District is defined as the area bounded by Queen St., Front St., Yonge St. and Avenue Road, and its subway stops are King, Union, and St. Andrew stations. In addition to banks, insurance companies, and financial institutions, the Financial District will also be home to the Trump International Hotel and Tower. This 500 million dollar extravaganza located at the corner of Bay and Adelaide is designed to be the tallest and most luxurious residential building in Canada. The opulent tower features 291 luxurious hotel guestrooms and 147 residential condominiums available for purchase to those with very deep pockets.

However, the interesting thing is that this building will be cooled by an Enwave Energy deep lake water cooling system, which uses 90% less electricity than conventional cooling systems. Enwave sources power from the water of Lake Ontario. The lake water runs through Toronto’s filtration system to Enwave’s facilities where the energy is extracted from the water. It is this clean, reliable, sustainable, low cost energy that is used to cool the buildings. To learn more about Enwave click on the link below.

Did you know about this cooling system before? If this system was available for home use, would you consider it?
