Geothermal Solutions for Public Buildings
Sustainable Heating and Cooling for Public Spaces
Geothermal energy offers an innovative and eco-friendly approach to heating and cooling public buildings. By harnessing the Earth's stable underground temperature, geothermal systems provide a consistent internal climate, essential for the comfort and efficiency of public spaces such as schools, hospitals, administrative buildings, and more.
How Does the Geothermal System Work in Public Buildings?
Advantages of Geothermal Systems for Public Buildings:
The system comprises an underground heat exchanger (loop), a heat pump, and an internal distribution system. The loop is a network of pipes buried in the ground, through which a fluid circulates, absorbing heat from the soil. This heat is transferred to the heat pump, which converts and distributes it within the building via underfloor heating, radiators, or fan coil units. In summer, the process reverses, extracting heat from the building and transferring it back into the ground, providing efficient cooling.
High Energy
Efficiency
Geothermal systems can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 70% compared to traditional systems.
Environmental
Friendliness
Utilizing renewable energy from the Earth reduces carbon emissions and contributes to environmental preservation.
Considerable
Flexibility
Systems can be adapted for various types of public buildings, providing individual control and optimal conditions for operation and service.
Reliability and
Durability
Underground components have a lifespan exceeding 50 years, while above-ground components last around 25 years, requiring minimal maintenance.
Applications in the Public Sector
- Space Heating and Cooling: Ensuring comfortable temperatures throughout all seasons.
- Low Operational Costs: Average monthly expenses for heating, cooling, and domestic hot water are approximately 0.6 BGN/m² including VAT.
Investing in geothermal solutions for public buildings not only leads to significant energy and cost savings but also enhances the sustainability and efficiency of public services.
