Thank you, Madam Chair. We are intending to use the facilities, the new building, to help provide heat or to provide heat to the two existing buildings. It is the Stuart Hodgson Building and the Laing Building. We will save 785 tonnes of greenhouse gases annually by
the option that we have selected, biomass for the new building.
The Member has mentioned the district heating and any options that we have there. I said it before, I will say it again, we haven’t finalized the plans. We still have a small window where we can switch to, in construction, a district heating. If it was to come forward to us, we have asked the city to provide us with a business plan showing us the economics of this. It is something we are interested in. Unfortunately, we have awarded a contract on this building. We do have to pursue that and continue to move forward. That window is going to close. Does it mean we can’t go back later? Of course it doesn’t, but we would really love to have that information before we move forward, because it would be economies of scale and might be able to save money on construction and design, but that window is closing rapidly.
