A ground source heat pump at Cornell

The Bloomberg Center at the tech campus of Cornell University (New York, USA) was recently equipped with a Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP). It delivers heating, cooling and domestic hot water without any direct combustion of fossil fuels. Eighty boreholes have been drilled to a depth of 400 feet, intercepting water-filled fissures in the local bedrock. The system then takes advantage of this water to increase its efficiency. The combination of the facility’s low energy design, solar photovoltaic panels and GI Energy’s GSHP system is expected to save up to 500 tonnes of CO₂ per year.
