Presentation Description: Corix and Simon Fraser University (SFU) are partnering to explore data center heat recovery opportunities with the Burnaby Mountain District Energy Utility. Data centers are a major source of low-carbon heat, and SFU and Corix are creating a living laboratory that combines applied research, student engagement, and long-term utility investment. Explore practical insights on public and private collaboration, risk alignment, and governance, and a replicable model for campuses and communities seeking dependable, climate-aligned heating solutions.
Case Study: The Burnaby Mountain District Energy Utility is a low-carbon district energy system developed by Corix in partnership with Simon Fraser University (SFU) and SFU Community Trust. Serving both the SFU campus and adjacent UniverCity residential community, the project aligns with the university’s sustainability leadership and the community’s vision for resilient, future-ready infrastructure.
