Geothermal Cooling
Geothermal Cooling is a method in environmental engineering that uses the stable temperature found underground to help keep buildings cool. Designers can use pipes buried in the ground to move heat away from a building and into the earth, which stays cooler than the air during warm months. This system works well with radiant floor cooling, where cool water flows through pipes under the floor to lower room temperature. Geothermal cooling can help lower energy use and reduce the need for traditional air conditioning, which can save money and help the environment.
