The city is responding to a reduced natural gas supply after the Enbridge pipeline explosion earlier this month by turning down the heat in some of its buildings.
Six buildings in the city are involved, two administration buildings at the City’s 18th Avenue, the Yard Kin Centre, the CN Centre, Elksentre Arena, and the Connaught Youth Centre.
The administration buildings and Connaught Youth Centre are reducing their inside temperatures to about 20 degrees Celsius, while the Kin Centre, CN Centre and Elksentre are turning the thermostat down from 16 degrees to 12 degrees.
The City owns about 55 buildings, the majority of which are privately operated by tenants. 11 of those buildings are heated by bioenergy from their Downtown Renewable Energy System.
