Diverso Energy
Diverso Energy designs, builds, owns, and operates geothermal heating and cooling systems for multi-family, office, and institutional buildings, allowing clients to reap the benefits of geothermal without the financial or operating risks associated with the technology. The company prides itself on being the first fully integrated geothermal supplier in Canada, with engineering, construction (including drilling) and capital managed under one roof.
Unlike past solutions, clients achieve new energy and carbon targets while lowering their budget, not increasing it, thanks to the company’s $0 geothermal utility model. This model converts the upfront cost of a geothermal ground loop into a long-term operating expense, providing a reliable and low-risk renewable heating and cooling solution.
With over 40 years of combined experience, Diverso’s ownership team has collaborated with hundreds of clients, many in high-density urban environments. Their use of dependable financial & technical solutions is expediting the transition from fossil fuels to electric buildings. To date, they have eliminated over 9,000 tons of CO2 and served a total area of over 6,500,000 square feet of real estate. Each installation factors all stakeholders into the equation.
Tenants and Owners can take comfort knowing that their investment is secured against climate-related policy changes and carbon tax increases, as well as escalating energy costs. Meanwhile, developers benefit from a future-proofed building that improves their bottom line and carbon footprint. With a multibillion-dollar capital partner at the helm, they can also rest assured that their projects are in capable hands. Above all, Diverso’s geothermal systems are good for the planet, offering an 80% carbon reduction per building on average.
“18 years ago, we created a top-notch ‘Tylenol’ for developers, but it took 15 years for anyone to develop a headache. Now they have a headache, and they are looking for that Tylenol. Green standards are growing stricter, carbon-tax is sky-high, and energy costs aren’t decreasing anytime soon. A tipping point for green buildings is drawing near and we’re prepared to take the market by storm.” – Tim Weber, CEO of Diverso Energy
