The University of Toronto has a 100-year history with centralized steam delivery. Steam generated by four massive boilers fueled by natural gas (originally fueled by coal) is delivered to many buildings across campus for heating spaces and making hot water.

And, during summer, steam is used by absorption chillers in the Medical Sciences Building for refrigeration
