Poster #14

Prioritizing waste energy as a carbon-free resource, the Integrated Community Energy and Harvesting System (ICE-Harvest) maximizes energy sharing and storage to achieve net-zero emissions. Conversion of HCE’s District Energy system at McMaster Innovation Park to a micro-thermal network with advanced energy harvesting is analyzed as a case study. This presentation will showcase energy models and feature comparisons with conventional energy applications, demonstrating reduction of fossil fuels without a peak demand increase caused by electrification of heating.
