💨 Abstract

In Denver, developers turned an obstacle into an opportunity by using thermal energy from sewage to heat and cool buildings at the National Western Center complex. This sustainable method leverages the stable temperature of wastewater, reducing reliance on polluting energy sources. The system, which involves heat exchangers and pumps, is efficient and odor-free. It's particularly effective in buildings with centralized hot water production and can supplement traditional HVAC systems.
