Vancouver Convention Centre – East Building
Fun Fact: The building is heated with two 1200 heat pumps which transfer heat from the Ocean into the heating loop of the building. The heated water is then pumped in to the building were the heat is transferred to the air with various pieces of equipment.
Ocean water is pumped to the Central Plant by 4 2500Gpm 4 stage vertical turbine pumps. The water is supplied to the pumps by 2 140foot long seawater intakes that are 75 feet under the surface of the Ocean at high tide.
The sewage is treated on site and water is recovered from the black and grey water. The water is reused for flushing toilets and irrigation. In the summer we lose all water that is used for irrigation so we use a reverse osmosis system to convert Ocean water into fresh water which supplements our irrigation requirements.
