At 536 acres, Edmonton’s former City Centre Airport lands are being transformed into one of the world’s biggest carbon-neutral communities. Known as Blatchford, this community is set to be powered by 100% renewable energy and will house over 30,000 residents. The development also features a centralized district energy sharing system (DESS) to provide energy for heating, cooling and domestic hot water. Through this webinar, Tom Lumsden, Development Manager at Blatchford, shared an overview of the project – planning, community design, renewable technologies, and project progress. In addition, we discussed about challenges and barriers to project implementation and lessons learnt.
