Abstract

The purpose of this report is to make recommendations to the Township of Minden Hills for more sustainable approaches to water management and heating. The municipality runs an arena that has diverse energy needs. One element of the system is the heating and cooling of water - generating hot water for showers and making ice for the skating surface. This project is intended to explore creative options for heating and cooling to maximize efficiency and minimize waste. We have investigated energy saving and water conservation options for the arena's water usage. These include showers, sinks, toilets and the water used to make ice. Technologies to reduce water use and energy requirements for water heating were researched as a way to make the arena more sustainable.
