A few observations:•Solar seasonal energy storage can be integrated withsubdivision development;•Low temperature district heating is workable in Canada;•Public funding is key in realizing innovativedemonstration projects;•Start sustainable community planning early;•Land developer, homebuilder, utility operator andmunicipal government co-operation operation is key.11/28/2007 20
