Carbon Neutral Design Strategies:
Strategies: #3 - Use Renewable Energy - Geoexchange Systems


#3 - USE RENEWABLE ENERGY- Geoexchange Systems

Geoexchange systems, although not capable of providing heating or cooling as a self sufficient stand alone system on a project, can be used to reduce the amount of heating and cooling differential as they pre heat or pre cool materials for other systems, thereby reducing the energy requirements overall.
