Geothermal is a clean, efficient, dependable method for meeting the heating, cooling, and (Domestic Hot Water) requirements of any residence or commercial building. It’s energy is derived from the natural heat of the earth which is the greatest solar collector in existence. Geothermal is generated by moving energy from one point to another using ground loops. The types of loops used depend on the various land, soil, rock type and climate. The ground temperature 6 feet down is a constant 50 degrees in Northern New Mexico making it ideal for a Geothermal home. There are many options available with Geothermal for delivering comfort to the structure. This system contains three principal components: the Earth Connection, the Heat Pump and the Heat Distribution System.
According to data supplied by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Geothermal Technologies, nearly 40% of all U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the result of using energy to heat, cool and provide hot water for buildings. This is about the same amount of CO2 contributed b the transportation sector. (source: Environmental and Energy Benefits of Geothermal Heat Pumps)
A typical 3-ton residential geoexchange system produces and average of about one pound less Carbon Dioxide per hour of use than a conventional system. To put that in perspective, over an average 20-year lifespan, 100,000 units of nominally sized residential geoexchage systems will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by almost 1.1 million metric tons of carbon equivalents.
That would be the equivalent of converting about 58,700 cars to zero emission vehicles, or planting more than 120,000 trees.
