St. Paul Public Schools in Minnesota is going all in on geothermal technology to heat and cool its buildings. The system’s well is positioned 300 feet below the school’s baseball field. The geothermal system provides the district an affordable and renewable energy source “by harnessing temperatures below the earth’s surface that remain constantly stable year-round.” The system does not require the use of water and connects 160 wells to seven heat pumps, according to the article, as the heat pumps then connect to a series of white pipes in the basement of the school. Can you guess how much they plan to cut back on gas emmissions in the next 5 years? https://bit.ly/3z6lZQf #geothermal #geothermalenergy #thermalenergy #thermalenergynetworks #heatpumps #heatpumptechnology #greenenergy #cleanenergy #climatechange #sustainable #renewable #alwayson United Association of Union Plumbers, Fitters, Welders and Service Techs IAPMO PHCPPros Building Decarbonization Coalition HEET (Home Energy Efficiency Team) International Ground Source Heat Pump Association Geothermal Rising ThinkGeoEnergy Offshore Network Ltd.

That’s a large number and makes it easy to see where to put our focus when looking at efficiency in buildings.
April is National Geothermal Month The US DOE states that building energy use accounts for 40% of all the primary energy used in the United States, this is far greater than the total energy used in the transportation sector and 40% of the total energy used in those buildings is for space conditioning and water heating exactly what geothermal heat pump technology delivers. #GEONII #GroundSourceHeatPumps #GeoExchange #IGSHPA #SharedResearch

Enhanced tax incentives, environmental and decarbonization goals, and a critical mass of technology and know-how have converged to boost the geothermal market in cities across the country. There's so much growth hitting the industry from all angles, even in this article we see the quote: “There hasn’t been a better time to pursue geothermal,” from Keith Christian with the 20/10 Engineering Group. Where have you been seeing geothermal thrive most in recent months?

We love a good #ThrowbackThursday! A decade ago Jay Egg gave us a rundown of how #geothermal works! Although the basics of geothermal are fairly simple, many people don't know where to start when learning about it, but this is an excellent jumping point! The resources for getting started with an education in ground-source heat pump technology have come a long way, but we're always happy to nod to the past and appreciate just how far the industry has come in the past few years. How did you get into learning about geothermal technology? https://bit.ly/47pOO6M #geothermal #geothermalenergy #thermalenergy #thermalenergynetworks #heatpumps #heatpumptechnology #greenenergy #cleanenergy #climatechange #sustainable #renewable #alwayson United Association of Union Plumbers, Fitters, Welders and Service Techs IAPMO PHCPPros Building Decarbonization Coalition HEET (Home Energy Efficiency Team) International Ground Source Heat Pump Association Geothermal Rising ThinkGeoEnergy Offshore Network Ltd.

We built 1.5 million miles of gas lines over 20 years in the 1950s and 1960s. Can we do the same with geothermal energy networks? The 1950s and 1960s saw a leap in available technology and consumer demand for natural gas, more than doubling the demand following World War II. After the war, nearly half of the existing natural gas transmission network and a large portion of the local distribution networks were installed. The distribution network has continued to expand to provide natural gas service to new commercial facilities and housing developments. Thermal energy networks are as critical to our infrastructure now as water, sewer, electric and fiber optics have proven in recent generations. Our very own Jay Egg has plenty more to share in this fascinating historical take on TENs modern growth here: https://lnkd.in/gbN6MhSq #geothermal #geothermalenergy #thermalenergy #thermalenergynetworks #heatpumps #heatpumptechnology #greenenergy #cleanenergy #climatechange #sustainable #renewable #alwayson United Association of Union Plumbers, Fitters, Welders and Service Techs IAPMO PHCPPros Building Decarbonization Coalition HEET (Home Energy Efficiency Team) International Ground Source Heat Pump Association Geothermal Rising ThinkGeoEnergy Offshore Network Ltd.

The newly launched California Heat Pump Partnership has the answer to how far and how fast heat pumps are going to push fossil energy out of buildings and back underground where it belongs and they are not kidding around, with the firepower of a collaborative effort that includes the companies covering more than 90% of the US consumer heat pump market. With 4.5 million to go between now and 2030, the California Heat Pump Partnership has its work cut out for it. Nevertheless, the organization is confident that it can step up the pace. With such a bold goal, we're looking forward to seeing the undoubtedly incredible progress that will be made in California over the next 6 years!

A coalition of activists is pushing for more information and action on converting the Capitol and Empire State Plaza to renewable energy sources after more than a century of being powered by a steam-generating plant in Sheridan Hollow, about a half-mile away from the state buildings. “For over a century, the steam tunnel between Sheridan Hollow and government buildings in Albany has been an instrument of segregation, separating those who receive the benefits of energy from people who bear the brunt of pollution caused by its consumption,” a report from the coalition says.

Exciting news out of Washington today; House Bill 2131, to allow thermal energy networks, was unanimously passed in the 2024 legislative session! Rep. Ramel explained that "The innovation proposed in this bill is to work with gas utilities—companies that already install pipe, manage rights of way, distribute energy to buildings, and work under the regulatory authority of the UTC." We strive to celebrate every step taken toward a decarbonized future!

4moWhile most districts would take on an extra energy bill because of [adding Air-Conditioning], district officials were ecstatic to learn that energy use for the building was down!
