Earth Energy – It’s Not New
• Earth energy system was first patented in Switzerland in 1912
• Residential system installed in Canada in 1950

Heat Pump Systems are Reliable
Compressor was initially powered by hand crank diesel motor… changed to electric motor (still being used!!) in 1953 when his wife couldn’t start it.

Geothermal Heat Pump Systems combine Sun, Earth and Water
using proven technology…
… to create “the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective
space-conditioning system”(according to U.S. EPA 1993)

Heat Pumps Are All Around Us
Air conditioners and air-source heat pumps transfer heat from inside houses to the air outside
Refrigerators transfer heat from food into the kitchen

Geothermal Equipment
• The equipment keeps getting better• “COP’s” (% efficiency) are reaching 5 (500%)• Hybrid units can greatly reduce installation costs
• Fits load control and peak time pricing • Can be tied to a gas furnace for load control• Water to water units can support thermal storage
for expanded peak clipping

The difference in the before and after system efficiency = carbon emissions savings.
300,000 GSHP retrofits could save approximately the carbon emissions of a 500 mW coal plant (which serves 300,000 +/- homes!)

Geothermal Heat Pumpsare the Most Efficient way to convert
Green Energy into Heating, Cooling and Water Heating
Making the most effective use of this precious resource
No Carbon Electricity = carbon free heating, cooling & water heating
ClimateMaster65
The payback on Geothermal Systemsis many times faster
than solar PV
But….Geo plus PV (or micro wind) can provide a zero energy home/building with no net off-site electricity or fossil fuel required
