February 16, 2016-UBC-Tour of Centre for interactive Research on Sustainability and Nexterra

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2016 OPEN TO MEMBERS ONLY

image003 The Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability (CIRS) was developed in response to the challenge of creating a more sustainable built environment. Its intention is to be an internationally recognized research institution that accelerates the adoption of sustainable building technologies and sustainable urban development practices in society. Research within the Centre engages issues related to, and which shape, sustainable buildings and urban development patterns. Such research requires understanding complex cross-scale and cross-discipline issues and developing new concepts and tools that are integrative, synthetic and which actively create positive synergies between systems. Nexterra is a leading provider of plant-scale, energy from renewable-waste systems that generate energy and fuels for a range of customers, including district energy providers, industrial process plant operators and independent power producers. Nexterra systems integrate seamlessly with customer operations, providing both environmental and operational advantages, including high reliability and class-leading emissions performance. The UBC consortium lead by Nexterra was developed initially as a pilot to provide a hot water system for heating UBC buildings.
