GreenHeat
‘heating and cooling
with renewable energies’
2013
Bill Eggertson, canadian association for renewable energies (we c.a.r.e.)

2.
This presentation is only for people who believe that:
climate change is a reality
climate change is anthropogenic
people can make a difference

3.
Canada needs to reduce GHG emissions.
Energy is the major source of emissions.
Three ‘types’ energies emit GHG:
1) generation of electric power
2) fuels for transportation
3) space conditioning (space heating, water heating, cooling)

4.
While most Canadians understand the
benefits of ending power generation from
coal and increasing fuel efficiency in cars,
we are missing one of the largest potential
solutions for the reduction of GHG ….

GreenHeat technologies:
1. biomass heat
2. solar thermal water
3. solar thermal air
4. earth energy (geothermal heat pump)
5. other
