Using the Thermal Energy in Wastewater to Heat and Cool Buildings

The 11th TEN4CT (Thermal Energy Networks for CT) meeting/webinar took place on Thursday, June 25, 12:30–1:30 PM. About the Topic and Presenter: Using the thermal energy in wastewater to heat and cool buildings. In this webinar, Aaron Miller from SHARC Energy will discuss the value of wastewater and other effluents as renewable energy resources. Using real-world case studies, he will explain how his company harvests the thermal energy from waste streams to deliver combustion-free heating, cooling, and domestic hot water for buildings, campuses, and thermal energy networks. Aaron will also briefly discuss the recently announced Massachusetts DEP Wastewater Energy Recovery Pilot program. Aaron Miller has broad experience across both supply- and demand-side energy solutions. His career spans design, building automation, and deep energy retrofit implementation in the multifamily, commercial, institutional, and industrial sectors. He has worked to integrate Wastewater Energy Transfer (WET) systems into geothermal, district energy, and stand-alone heating and cooling applications—helping decarbonize buildings, campuses, and municipal infrastructure at scale.
