Incorporating a commercial geothermal heat pump into a large building is becoming an increasingly popular option, and it’s easy to see why. Geothermal heat pumps are eco friendly, they provide a comfortable, reliable heat and the economic benefits mean your building will have low operating costs for decades.

How A Geothermal Heat Pumps Work in Large Buildings

A commercial geothermal heat pump operates on a simple principle: it moves heat from one place to another via a refrigeration process. In a commercial building, a series of heat pumps removes heat from an energy supply source in the ground. The heat pump concentrates this low-grade heat, raising its temperature and then transfers it to the building’s energy distribution system (usually radiant in-floor and hydronic fan coils) via a heat exchanger. In the summer, the process is reversed. The heat pumps collect heat from the building and deposit it into the ground loop, providing cooling.

Commercial Geothermal Heat Pumps Work in Any Large Building

Our commercial heat pumps have been installed in a variety of applications including schools, nursing homes, police stations and farmers’ markets. Many of these buildings are LEED certified and valued in the millions of dollars. Over the past several decades as commercial heat pump installations have become more popular and thus more standardized, a generally accepted typical implementation has emerged for commercial installations.
