GEOTHERMAL
No matter what climate you live in, the temperature
throughout the year varies. For those of us here in the northeast that means
blazing hot summers and frigid cold winters. What geothermal makes use of is the fact
that the temperature below ground (regardless of climate or season) stays
fairly consistent all year.
The ground is able to maintain a higher rate of temperature consistency because it absorbs 47% of the sun's energy (heat) as it hits the Earth's surface. Geothermal systems are able to tap into this free energy with an earth loop (see examples below). This technology is then used to provide your home or office with central heating and cooling by using naturally existing heat, rather than by producing heat through combustion of fossil fuels.

A
geothermal system connects the inside of a building with the earth beneath
it. An exchange of British Thermal Units (BTU’s, a measurement unit of heat
content) between the two keeps the temperature inside the building constant
and comfortable. When the temperature inside a building is too warm, the
geothermal unit takes just the right number of BTU’s out of the building to
make it cool and comfortable and puts those BTU’s into the earth. When the
temperature inside gets too cool, the system changes direction and removes
BTU’s from the earth and adds those BTU’s to the inside of the building,
raising the temperature just enough to keep the inside warm and comfortable.
