Community-scaled heating and cooling networks that do not produce greenhouse gasses.
Networked geothermal systems provide heating and cooling to multiple buildings using the stable temperature of the earth, rather than fuel, and electric heat pumps. Diversity makes the network more efficient by including users with counter-seasonal needs; while residents pull heat for their homes in the winter, grocery store freezers still need cooling. Networked geothermal also makes clean heat more accessible to everyone, since transitioning entire blocks lowers costs and may allow for heat pump financing.
