SHARC Energy Provides leləm̓ Update
January 27, 2022
leləm̓ Village is leading the way in sustainability by utilizing wastewater energy for their Passive Energy Loop (PEL).
The development’s heating and cooling needs are met by utilizing a SHARC WET (wastewater energy transfer) system as part of their District Energy loop. A WET-enabled District Energy loop using wastewater energy provides significant carbon savings and energy efficiency compared to current standards.
leləm̓ Village is a 21.44-acre masterplanned community owned by Musqueam Capital Corporation, an Indigenously owned business. The development is situated in the University Endowment Lands, located in the old-growth forests of Pacific Spirit Park on the western edge of the City of Vancouver.
It is comprised of 1,200 residential units and 30,000 square feet of retail, street-level shopping. The development is designed to foster community living that is modern but rooted in ancient values, surrounded by nature, with abundant green space, convenient amenities, and a wide array of shops and services. It is located minutes from downtown Vancouver, close to the amenity-rich UBC campus and desirable westside neighborhoods.
The build-out is estimated to take ten years with 1,250 homes planned for 2,500 residents, with a mix of low- and mid-rise condos, townhomes, and rental suites, with 8 acres dedicated to park, trails, wetlands, greenways, and gathering spaces.
