Okanagan College in Kelowna, British Columbia, uses waste heat from a nearby sewage treatment plant to heat its campus. Infrastructure for heat recovery and distribution was installed at the College along with several other energy efficiency retrofits.

These upgrades offset more than 800 tonnes of greenhouse gases annually, equivalent to taking 166 cars off the road.
