Urban Plains is proud to be a development that uses green building technology and geothermal energy. But what is geothermal energy exactly? How does it benefit you as a current or potential resident of UP Fargo?
Geothermal energy is a process of using the earth’s natural energy for heating applications in commercial and residential buildings. While the technology of today has improved the techniques used for geothermal energy, the process itself has been around since before the Roman Empire.
Benefits of having geothermal heating in your business or home are outstanding and more cost effective than you might imagine. You can expect lower maintenance costs, lower utility bills and a safe work environment. Geothermal systems provide a more relaxing atmosphere for employees and clients through more usable work space and comfortable temperatures all year long.
Top 5 Reasons to go Green with a Geothermal System:
• Environmentally Friendly – geothermal energy is non-polluting and it’s naturally renewable.
• Cost Effective – a geothermal system is easier to maintain resulting in lower maintenance costs plus it can cut utility bills by 30-50 percent compared to traditional heating and cooling systems.
• Flexible Design & Longer Lifespan – a geothermal system can be easily subdivided or expanded to fit building modifications and has a lifespan of up to 30 years.
• Comfortable, Single System – heating and cooling applications are on 1 system with geothermal energy and cold drafts are eliminated.
• Safe & Energy Efficient – with a geothermal system there is no danger of carbon monoxide poisoning or gas leaks. It can also move more units of heat energy per unit of electrical energy in traditional heating systems.
