Earlier this winter, Herb Sinnock, Manager, Sustainable Energy Systems and Katherine Rinas, Project Manager, Facilities Projects presented to a standing room-only crowd at the International District Energy Association’s 2017 Campus Energy Conference in Miami. Herb and Katie spoke about Sheridan’s ongoing District Energy initiative, which will provide all of the heating and cooling services for the Trafalgar and Davis campuses from one central location on each campus, while sharing additional energy with the surrounding communities. Their presentation was titled, “Experiences building a European-style hot water campus district energy system in North America.”
The District Energy project will see Sheridan build on its established energy expertise and infrastructure by reaching beyond its campus boundaries to partner with municipal and public partners in Brampton and Oakville. The goal is to extend Sheridan’s networks into community district energy nodes, establish appropriate governance, and validate a replicable and scalable model for academic-municipal collaboration on district energy.

Congratulations, Herb and Katie!
