Ground source heat pump systems are the most efficient and reliable technology to heat and cool a building. Seventy to eighty percent of the energy delivered to your building is free and renewable.
Still relying on rules of thumb?
How do you answer someone asking you if a geothermal heat pump system is feasible in their commercial building? So much building area per ton to estimate capacity? And multiply that by so much borehole per ton of capacity? Rather than rely on inappropriate rules of thumb...you might try www.geofease.com to estimate the size, cost and economic performance of a geo system compared to a conventional system. |
District geothermal systems
Heat pumps are designed to move energy. Most ground source heat pump systems move energy between a building and the ground. Connecting multiple buildings and ground heat exchanger modules to an energy transfer pipe allows energy transfer from one building to another and store excess energy in the ground...then pull if from the ground when needed GEOptimize simulates the performance of these district energy systems. |
Getting more requests for GSHPs?
More and more jurisdictions are banning the use of natural gas in new buildings. GSHP systems use electricity 4-5 times more efficiently than electric heat and cool 25-40% more efficiently than air cooled chillers. Learn how to optimize the cost and performance of a GSHP system for your client by taking the Certified GeoExchange Design course, of with design assistance from GEOptimize. |
