Gateway Bonavista

Location:

Gateway Southcentre Apartment Building, Calgary AB

System Info:

  • Calgary’s Gateway Bonavista Southcentre is a 500-unit residential building engineerd by Reinbold for Resiance Corporation.
  • Geothermal and Solar Hybrid System
  • 168 Solar panels for Domestic Hot Water, Building heat and Ground loop support

How the system works:

The building has 168 flat plate solar thermal collectors on the roof, which are capable of heating water to 90° C on sunny summer days. The heated water is stored in an 18,000-litre insulated storage tank and delivered to each suite under city water pressure, and with a small recirculation pump.

The primary function of the solar is to provide hot water to the suites. But in this hybrid system, the solar collectors also provide supplementary heat to the buildings heat pump loop system, which involves 330, 70-m deep boreholes, with vertical heat pumps in each suite.
