Glenergy Inc. began as a lighting company offering solutions within Canada and Africa in 2001 and have since grown to provide outdoor recreational items, solar systems and education in the field of clean energy. They have expertise in off-grid solar system design and integration, including making many lakes quieter at night by eliminating generators in Canada. Glenergy has been trying to find a way to save energy on heating and hot water as these are the largest non-transportation energy loads for most Canadians. They are proposing to conduct research on a seasonal thermal storage for hot water space heating applications. Canada is an ideal climate for this heating application as it has abundant solar radiation and high ambient temperatures in summer. Glenenergy has partnered with Lambton College's Lambton Energy Research Centre to test the concept of seasonal heat storage in large water tanks, using heat pumps at high COP to extract the heat for a hydronic heating system in winter. The propoed project in collaboration with Lambton College plans to design and build a seasonal heat storage for residential hydronic heating system. The success of the project will see substantial reductions in on-going heating costs are to be expected for home and/or business owners. It is expected that the findings of this project will be a solid foundation for the next steps of Glenergy's plan to develop a full scale prototype and conduct a market research

GlEnergy Inc.成立于2001年，最初是一家在加拿大和非洲提供解决方案的照明公司，此后发展到提供户外娱乐项目、太阳能系统和清洁能源领域的教育。他们在离网太阳能系统设计和集成方面拥有专业知识，包括通过取消加拿大的发电机来使许多湖泊在夜间更加安静。 GlEnergy一直在努力寻找一种在供暖和热水方面节省能源的方法，因为对大多数加拿大人来说，这些都是最大的非交通能源负荷。他们提议对热水空间供暖应用的季节性蓄热进行研究。加拿大是这种供暖应用的理想气候，因为它有充足的太阳辐射和夏季较高的环境温度。GlenEnergy已经与Lambton学院的Lambton能源研究中心合作，测试在大型水箱中季节性蓄热的概念，使用高COP的热泵在冬季为循环供暖系统提取热量。 该项目与兰伯顿学院合作，计划为住宅循环供暖系统设计和建造季节性蓄热系统。该项目的成功将使家庭和/或企业主的供暖成本大幅降低。预计该项目的发现将为GlEnergy下一步开发全尺寸原型和进行市场研究奠定坚实的基础
