From Airports to Elementary Schools, New Examples of Geothermal Heating & Cooling Sites Emerge

AI Summary

• •The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Geothermal (OG) has published five new case studies demonstrating successful geothermal heating and cooling (GSHP) applications across diverse sites, including airports and elementary schools.
• •These case studies provide practical, proven examples for developers and large power consumers looking to implement energy-efficient and low-carbon HVAC solutions in various building types.
• •The DOE's active promotion through these documented projects signals growing government support and market maturity for geothermal H&C, potentially influencing future policy, incentives, and financing opportunities.
• •For large power consumers, particularly those with significant HVAC loads like datacenters, geothermal H&C offers a direct pathway to reduce operational energy costs and achieve substantial emissions reductions.
