Green Heat: Low Carbon Energy Generation for Heating Existing Buildings
The Challenge
The Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces (DND/CAF) are seeking a large-scale, low carbon energy generation/transfer system for heating existing buildings by integrating with their current hydronic heat distribution systems.
WHAT IDeAS PROVIDES
IDEaS provides the funding for the solution to be installed and operated by the innovator at the designated test building (VC-31) at Canadian Forces Base Kingston.
WHAT INNOVATORS BRING
A large-scale, low carbon energy generation/transfer system for heating existing buildings by integrating with the building’s current hydronic heat distribution systems that the innovator will install and operate.
SOLUTION READINESS LEVEL
To be considered for this Test Drive, your proposed energy generation/transfer technology must have already completed the technical work associated with SRL 6: “Simulated Demonstration—near-end state solution is demonstrated and tested in a simulated environment.” This ensures that proposed solutions are ready for the SRL 7 or higher testing efforts that will occur during this project where the “near-end state solution is demonstrated and tested in an appropriate real-world environment.”
Deadline for submitting Step 1 Proposals is 2PM EST on Tuesday, September 7, 2021
