Geoexchange systems harness heat trapped underground, providing environmentally friendly heating and cooling for buildings.
Unlike deep geothermal energy, which requires drilling thousands of meters into the Earth, geoexchange (also known as “shallow” geothermal) only involves drilling hundreds of meters. It capitalizes on heat absorbed by the ground from the Sun, making it suitable for installation almost anywhere in the world.
Ground source heat pumps facilitate geoexchange, transferring heat between the surface and the ground. These systems can be used for both heating (extracting heat from the ground in winter) and cooling (pumping heat back into the ground in summer). Unlike deep geothermal projects, shallow geoexchange systems are more affordable and accessible.
