IWS Announces DC Water Installation
IWS Announces DC Water Installation
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – May 2, 2017) – International Wastewater Systems Inc. (“IWS” or the “Company”) (CSE:IWS)(CSE:IWS.CN)(FRANKFURT:IWI)(OTC PINK:INTWF) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a US$330,000 (CAN$478,000) contract to supply its innovative SHARC thermal energy exchange system to the new headquarters of the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (“DC Water”) in Washington, DC.
The new $60 million headquarters (“DC Water HQ”) is being constructed on the waterfront of the Anacostia River in Southeast Washington, DC and will serve as the new public face for the agency. DC Water’s green initiatives will be showcased in a deeply innovative facility featuring a bold and distinctive design developed by SmithGroupJJR in collaboration with Skanska. The building is designed to achieve LEED Platinum certification from the U.S. Green Building Council and will also employ many advanced strategies that will surpass LEED Platinum certification.
The SHARC system will allow DC Water HQ to use its own wastewater as a source of thermal energy to condition the building. This project represents a historic HVAC first. The DC Water HQ building will be the first ever deployment of this technology used to both heat and cool a building in the USA.
With two-thirds of all the outflow from DC’s sewers flowing through the underground infrastructure on the site, the system will have a virtually uninterruptible supply of thermal energy. Utilizing this technology, the design team has calculated that the DC Water HQ will take its place as one of the lowest energy-consuming office buildings in the region.
“The idea of building a 150,000-square-foot headquarters building directly over a pumping station would normally be viewed as implausible,” said SmithGroupJJR’s Corporate Director of Engineering Don Posson. “But by doing so, DC Water will be able to leverage the station’s wastewater to provide enough power to heat and cool this large building. It’s a breakthrough solution and a perfect complement to DC Water’s objective of a greener, healthier District of Columbia.”
IWS will install the SHARC 440 model with a flow rate of 250 gallons per minute, providing the primary energy source for building heat, and the primary energy rejection source for building cooling. IWS’s SHARC technology is a major contributor to the project’s LEED® Platinum 96 credit threshold, delivering one of the lowest energy consumption rates per unit of floor area possible, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by over 40{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce}, and water consumption by hundreds of thousands of gallons annually.
Lynn Mueller, CEO of IWS commented: “DC Water’s new state-of-the-art building is a world class design-build project. The integration of SHARC technology demonstrates the world-class caliber of IWS’s projects and partners, and represents the increased adoption of IWS systems in the United States.”

Biggest U.S. Companies Setting More Renewable-Energy Targets
Biggest U.S. Companies Setting More Renewable-Energy Targets
-
Corporations bought 2.5 gigawatts of clean energy last year
-
Fortune 500 companies saving $3.7 billion with clean power
Almost half of the biggest U.S. companies have established clean-energy targets for themselves, according to a report Tuesday from sustainable investors and environmental groups including the World Wildlife Fund.
It’s not just the biggest U.S. companies — 44 percent of the smallest 100 members of the Fortune 500 have also set goals, up from 25 percent in 2014, and 48 percent of the entire list.
Many are finding that renewable energy isn’t just cleaner, it’s also often cheaper. About 190 Fortune 500 companies collectively reported about $3.7 billion in annual savings, according to Power Forward 3.0, a report by WWF, Ceres, Calvert Research & Management and CDP.
“We’re not talking about anecdotal information anymore,” Marty Spitzer, a WWF senior director of climate and renewable energy in Washington, said in an interview. “We’re talking about large, large savings.”
Potential savings and sustainability goals prompted corporations to buy almost 3.7 gigawatts of power generated by clean-energy projects in 2015, and another 2.5 gigawatts last year, almost all from wind and solar, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
But it’s no longer just tech companies. About 63 percent of Fortune 100 companies have clean-energy targets, according to the report. Such targets include commitments to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and increase energy efficiency and renewable energy.
The 190 Fortune 500 companies reported emission reductions equivalent to mothballing 45 coal-fired power plants for a year, according to the report. It also found that 23 of Fortune 500 companies have 100 percent renewable-energy targets.

IWS COMPLETES METRO VANCOUVER INSTALLATION
International Wastewater Systems Inc. has completed the installation of a SHARC thermal energy exchange system at the False Creek Neighbourhood Energy Utility in Vancouver.
The False Creek SHARC was announced in August, 2016, following the successful collaboration between International Wastewater and Metro Vancouver. Metro Vancouver is a partnership of 21 municipalities, one electoral area and one treaty first nation that collaboratively plans for and delivers regional-scale services across the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.
The False Creek Neighbourhood Energy Utility is a large-scale district heating network that began operations in 2010 and currently provides space heating and hot water for 4.3 million square feet (395,000 square metres) of residential, commercial and institutional space.
International Wastewater installed its newest and largest capacity system at False Creek, the model 880. The SHARC 880 offers the highest capacity of any SHARC system to date, with flow rates of up to 1,500 gallons per minute, a capacity increase of three times when compared with existing SHARC models. The False Creek SHARC installation will include two SHARC 880 systems working in tandem and will initially operate over 12-month period to demonstrate the economic and energy efficiencies of the system.
This is the second time that a SHARC system has been integrated into a district heating network following International Wastewater’s installation at Borders College (Scotland) in 2015. Large-scale energy networks are a growing trend as municipalities look to increase energy efficiency and reliability, decarbonize energy grids and reduce life-cycle costs.
Lynn Mueller, chief executive officer of International Wastewater, commented: “We are pleased to be working with Metro Vancouver on their district heating network. This SHARC installation showcases the capability of [International Wastewater] technology when applied to large-scale, low-carbon thermal networks.”
