Air-source geothermal heat pumps are absolutely necessary to help us attain the goal of zero on-site admissions. They provide a terrific amount of site-sourced energy from the ambient air and the earth beneath our buildings.

The topic of beneficial electrification has been a difficult topic since I started writing back in 2009.

What do lawn darts, seat belts and cooling towers have in common? They have all been subjects of epidemiological studies. 

Communities transitioning from natural gas to geothermal heating and cooling ensures decades of infrastructure build-out.

That $9 billion figure is just enough to replace 25 percent of Massachusetts’ aging natural gas infrastructure — and expected to take two decades.

In municipalities from Toronto to Valley Stream, N.Y., it works. Let's get real about potable water thermal exchange.

As part of the contributions needed to be made toward the elimination of combustion heating, “beneficial electrification” is becoming the clear choice. With proper education, consumers can come to see that it's a significant step forward toward modernization to be “all electric.” 

This is the story about the Westchester County, New York, natural gas moratorium imposed by Con Edison in March 2019. It’s also about a man on a mission: his name is Bob Wyman, who spoke about this issue at the Con Edison gas hearings at the White Plains Library, Feb. 13, 2019.

Consider unconventional heat-exchange strategies such as wastewater thermal energy recovery and the thermal capacity of water mains.

Residential developments across the country are turning to geothermal for energy-efficient heating and cooling.
