Low temperature hydronic heating and high-temperature cooling: a Canadian option for more sustainable buildings. Project report.

This report focuses on a specific approach and constellation of technologies for heating and cooling buildings. The goal is to contribute to more sustainable energy use over the life span of buildings. The apporach is the use of lower-grade energy sources and more sustainable energy practices for space heating and cooling. The technology and applications addressed in this report relate to the 'building-end' mechanical system: the space and water heating and space cooling equipment located in buildings. More specifically, the report focus is on low temperature heating and high temperature cooling hydronic systems.
