2211 West 4th, Vancouver, BC
This multi-use building includes one floor of retail space, a floor of professional offices and three floors of apartments. The project was completed in 1992, and is one of the first large commercial projects in Vancouver to take advantage of a GCHP system.
Waste heat from the grocery store in the building is rejected to the GHX. Domestic hot water is provided by the heat pump system and helps balance the energy to and from the ground. A large hot water storage tank allows a 35 kW capacity heat pump to provide the full hot water supply for all apartments. A closed circuit cooling tower is used to dissipate heat from cooling dominant system.
