  • Renovating with Geothermal

    Renovating with Geothermal

    Once a decision has been made to replace or upgrade an outdated HVAC system, it is time choose a system that offers the most energy-efficient options.

    Geothermal systems offer coefficients of performance between 3.4 – 6.0. That’s 340% to 600%! This is more efficient than any other HVAC system in the marketplace today.

    In addition, geothermal systems:

    • provide both heating and cooling
    • are an endless renewable energy source
    • are quieter than traditional HVAC systems
    • have a longer lifespan
    • require less maintenance when intelligent controls are included
    • produce less CO2
    • reduce energy costs

    Make your renovation an investment by upgrading your outdated HVAC system to geothermal and start saving 30 – 50% on heating and cooling for the life of your building!

  • Geothermal and the US Military – Working Together

    Geothermal and the US Military – Working Together

    US military installations support the troops protecting America’s people and our National interests at home and abroad.
    The US Energy Department has been attempting to trim the Federal government’s annual energy bill and is actively working with our military bases to reach specific energy and greenhouse gas reduction targets.
    An important function on any military base is to provide adequate housing for our personnel. Over time, some bases have found that their existing barracks are no longer sufficient to accommodate their personnel needs. As they look to renovate and add new buildings to these bases, the US military is turning to geothermal to handle their comfort air needs, with some renovations using multiple borefields.
    Greensleeves assisted in some of these renovations that utilized multiple borefields. The controls software runs the systems using an optimized sequence to meet the needs of the personnel, ensure the thermal battery remains at ideal capacity, while reducing pumping costs and overall system energy consumption.

    Optimizing our US military installations – one more way our US military and Department of Energy are fulfilling today’s mission at less cost for a better future.
