Canadian tech aims to cool hot subways in New York City

Reported byCBC ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

Toronto-based Cascara Energy is installing a radiant cooling system in NYC's East Broadway subway station, expected to run by end of August 2026 through end of 2027, using chilled water-filled pipes to cool passenger areas while recovering waste heat for reuse—25 to 35 percent more efficient than traditional air conditioning.

Worth noting

This is a pilot project; scaling to other stations would require further testing and validation.
