Infrastructure built for generations.
Universities, government facilities, and commercial buildings require thermal systems that match their long-term horizons. Geothermal delivers 50+ year infrastructure with 30-50% operating cost reduction.
Institutional infrastructure at a crossroads
Long-term stewards face short-term pressures. The right thermal infrastructure serves both.
Aging Campus Infrastructure
Decades-old central plants and distribution systems need replacement, but disruption to operations makes modernization daunting.
Budget Constraints
Capital funding is limited and competes with core mission priorities. High upfront costs block sustainable upgrades.
Emissions Commitments
Institutions face pressure from stakeholders to meet carbon neutrality goals. Traditional HVAC can't get there.
Geothermal for institutional excellence
Thermal infrastructure that aligns with long-term institutional thinking and sustainability commitments.
50+ Year Asset Life
Ground loops outlast multiple generations of conventional equipment. Build infrastructure that serves for decades.
30-50% OPEX Reduction
Dramatic operating cost savings free up budget for core institutional missions—research, education, services.
Phased Implementation
Modernize in stages that align with capital planning cycles and minimize disruption to operations.
Carbon Neutrality Path
Eliminate on-site combustion and dramatically reduce grid electricity. Meet climate commitments with real action.
Federal Tax Credits
Up to 50%* ITC available for qualifying projects. Significant capital cost offset for eligible institutions.
Operational Resilience
Underground systems immune to weather events. Reduce dependency on volatile energy markets.
*ITC percentage varies by project type and configuration
