Reference number : GC-2017-Q3-00493, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Hollaender, Hartmut (University of Manitoba)|Hollaender, Hartmut (Université du Manitoba), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Manitoba, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : Increased usage of renewable energy is required to reduce climate change. Wastewater from housings releases a_x000D_
vast amount of energy which is lost to the soil. The @Source-Energy Pipe system is a new type of a sewage_x000D_
water pipe which integrates a geothermal pipe in its concrete. Heat from the sewage water and from the soil can_x000D_
be removed via conduction by a heat transfer fluid inside the geothermal pipe. This energy can be used to heat_x000D_
or cool housings throughout the year._x000D_
In this proposed research, the main objective is to create methods to evaluate the long-term efficiency of the_x000D_
@Source-Energy Pipe system under changing weather conditions. A numerical model will be used to simulate_x000D_
the heat flow during heating and cooling phases of the @Source-Energy Pipe system for a single house. In a_x000D_
second step, the attempt will be extended to a whole city quarter where more and more houses will be_x000D_
connected to the @Source-Energy Pipe system. The key to the technology transfer is proof that the system_x000D_
works reliable in the harsh climate of the Canadian Prairies. The results, as well as the modelling process itself,_x000D_
will allow the industry partner Lafarge to develop into the installation of the @Source-Energy Pipe system in_x000D_
sewage pipelines in the Canadian Prairie. Thus, Lafarge will be able to protect better the environment and_x000D_
which will allow Lafarge to bid on more projects., program purpose french : Increased usage of renewable energy is required to reduce climate change. Wastewater from housings releases a_x000D_
