Ground-source geothermal in my own back yard
Since the New York Times refuses to inform its readers about Ground Source Geothermal Heat Pump (GSG) technology, I am adding new material here and am hoping to be able to submit an OpEd text to the New York Times ASAP.
In 21st century Sweden there are two major technologies that can heat and cool interior space 24/7 365, technologies you will never even see named in the New York Times.
This post is about GSG, because it appears that a new apartment building complex being built in my neighborhood about 700 meters from my home is going to use GSG to be placed there by Rototec.se.
I have just written to them to ask for technical information and now add a YouTube video (Swedish text only) to show the scale on which GSG or geoenergi as Rototec calls it is used fairly far north in Sweden.
Here is the URL. I just tried to test but I believe I must first post this new blogspot document. The video shows a hospital in northern Sweden that has chosen to use geoenergi to provide 20% of the heating for the hospital and virtually 100% of the cooling needs.
Don't worry about not knowing Swedish. Just look at the setting and the view of the installation. I will add text after I have gotten a reply from Rototec and after I have viewed this video a few times.
