Olivier Trescases from The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, with Chris Lea, director of facilities at Hart House and David Berliner, Hart House’s sustainability coordinator, took home one of three Green Innovation Awards at the Green Toronto Awards ceremony on April 23.
Their idea, Green Gym: Harvesting Energy from Exercise Equipment, looked at the energy people wasted while using exercise equipment and how that energy could be harvested as a green power source.
The award comes with $10,000 in grant money to fund development of an energy-harvesting exercise bicycle, funded by the City of Toronto and Toronto Community Foundation.
