Geothermal Energy in Large and Small Scales

Since these geothermal ‘hot spots’ are only in specific geographical locations throughout the world, a more commonly available technology has been developed called ground source heating.

Ground source heating can supply a home or building with heat and air conditioning supply practically at any location.

The reason ground source heating is so widely applicable is due to the constant temperature of approximately 55 degrees Fahrenheit just below the surface.

The ground source heating uses the temperature differential of the above and below ground air temperature to draw hot or cold air out of buildings.

This air then gets channeled through underground piping to supply the comfortable living temperature for any home or building.
