How is the Hybrid Solar / Geothermal system integrated into space heating and cooling?
Grassroots Carbon Credits is taking a new approach to geothermal heating and cooling by coupling highly efficient, total enthalpy type, plate heat exchanger heat recovery ventilation systems with a new, ultra high efficiency, hybrid solar / geothermal energy source to yield a new standard in cold climate building services operating efficiency. An added benefit of this new configuration, which improves long term maintenance savings, is the use of fewer and larger compressors in bigger commercial systems, which do not work nearly as hard, thereby increasing their useful life. Actual net energy cost reductions of up to typically 75% can be accomplished with the maximized efficiency hybrid technology, along with a total net 68% to 83% reduction in CO2 emissions. This combination of technologies can provide a significant reduction of both fossil fuel usage and electrical consumption in urban environments, and have the potential to contribute significantly toward making America energy indepe
