Going green with insulating "honeycomb" glass & ground source heat pump

TheStar.com - Going green with glass:
by Tyler Hamilton -- 12/5/2005
"The entire arena-civic centre complex is also heated and cooled using a ground source heat pump or 'geothermal' system. A unique part of the system is the use of waste heat that results from ice making, which can usually be seen as steam coming out the back of arenas. The waste heat is captured and used to provide radiant heating in the arena through ethanol-filled loops that line the floors and bleachers in the building, even extending to the sidewalks outside to prevent ice build-up during colder months."
