IGSPHA Town Hall

Geo Solutions are limited in dense urban areas, especially where the building footprint extends across the entire site. However, multiple options are available. It's just a case of looking for alternative solutions. Installing geo loops into the very building's foundation connected to GSHPs can deliver a significant amount of base heating and cooling load and be combined with an ASHP to deliver remaining heating and cooling. This presentation will discuss how energy foundations were successfully used on a commercial building as part of delivering an all electric building in lower Manhattan, New York, and will provide some lessons learned and guidance on future projects.
