Why
Geothermal?
•
Geothermal systems can be more comfortable
than conventional HVAC. •
Systems are completely multifunctional,
cost less to operate and will pay
for themselves. • Geothermal
systems do not burn gas or oil, which
will lower demand for fossil fuels.
• The accelerating levels
of CO2 and methane in our atmosphere
are a direct result of our
addiction to burning
hydrocarbons to meet our energy needs.
The heating and cooling choices we
make for the buildings we live, learn
and work in will have consequences
for decades to come. Carbon dioxide
is a pollutant.
•
A 100-watt light bulb will produce
77 lbs of CO2 annually. •
An SUV will produce 14,875 lbs of
CO2. • A typical 1800 SF
home heated with oil will produce
29,910 lbs of CO2 every year.
• A 30,000 SF office building
heated with natural gas and cooled
in compliance with ASHRAE 90.1
will produce 341,553 lbs of CO2 every
year for the life of the building.
We
have choices. Geothermal and
other technologies make it possible
today to heat, cool and produce domestic
hot water without producing green
house gases. Solutions are readily
available and through the applications
of experienced geothermal design practices,
they can be competitive with conventional
technology.
