How Geothermal Heat Pumps Function in Large Buildings
In large buildings, commercial geothermal heat pumps operate based on a straightforward concept: they transfer heat through a refrigeration cycle. These buildings are equipped with multiple heat pumps that extract heat from a subterranean energy source. The system amplifies this extracted low-temperature heat to a higher temperature. It then conveys this heat to the building’s energy distribution network, which typically includes radiant in-floor heating and hydronic fan coils, using a heat exchanger. During summer, this mechanism is inverted. The heat pumps absorb heat from the building and channel it back into the ground loop, thereby providing cooling.
Why Choose Geothermal For Your Business
For the Environment
Implementing a GeoSmart Energy system in a typical commercial building is akin to an environmental supercharge — equivalent to planting thousands of trees or removing multiple cars from the road each year. This significant impact stems from our systems’ ability not to burn fossil fuels and their zero carbon dioxide emissions, which are major contributors to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
According to the Geothermal Heat Pump Consortium, existing geothermal installations are already saving over 14 million barrels of crude oil annually. The primary energy required to run these systems is just a fraction of electricity, significantly cutting down the demand for coal-powered electric plants. The result for businesses? A substantial contribution to cleaner air, reduced carbon footprint, and a marked decrease in acid rain, aligning your commercial operations with crucial environmental sustainability goals.
For the Efficiency
Geothermal technology provides a cost-effective, environmentally responsible way to heat or cool any space. As a result of the incredible efficiency of a GeoSmart Energy system, your monthly energy savings can be enough to recover your initial investment associated with the installation the equipment. A GeoSmart Energy system operates more efficiently than ordinary heating and air conditioning systems – 30 to 70 percent more efficiently, in most cases. For every unit of electricity the system consumes, it provides four units of heating energy, giving a geothermal system a 400 percent efficiency rating, on average. These numbers can translate into real savings on your utility bills year-round. Why choose geothermal energy for heating and cooling? 400% efficiency energy rating, on average!
For the Air Quality
The air you breathe each day can have a profound impact on the health of you and your family. On average, people spend close to 90% of their time indoors, whether at home, at work, at school or in leisure activities. While you have little control over the environmental pollutants you’re exposed to outdoors, you can significantly improve the quality of the air that you and your children breathe in your home. Fuel-burning appliances, biological pollutants (i.e. dust, mold) and household products can all contribute to poor air quality in your home. To help you create the healthiest possible environment for you and your family, Envirotech Geothermal offers an exceptional line of products designed to generate cleaner air in your home.
For the Comfort and Flexibility
Because a GeoSmart Energy system uses the relatively stable temperature of the earth as an energy source, you’re assured of constant, even winter heating and better humidity control in the summer. Due to the nature of geothermal technology, our systems move a higher volume of air thorough the home than a conventional system. The overall result is a much more even temperature in every room of the house. Higher volume means that the warmth created by your new system will reach to the furthest ends of the house before the thermostat has been satisfied.
Geothermal systems can provide any combination of forced-air heating, radiant in-floor heating, domestic hot water, and air conditioning all from the same unit. From houses to office buildings to community swimming pools, and everything in between, geothermal systems can be designed to provide efficient heating and cooling solutions.
