| SUMMARY
Geothermal energy is safe renewable energy that is stored within the earth. Due to the earth's constant temperature (Delta T " 5°) the energy can be efficiently utilized for heating and cooling purposes
without harm to the environment. The importance and demand of renewable energy sources are growing drastically due to the publics growing concern of reducing waste. The use of geothermal energy is also
supported and endorsed by the United States Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency
By creating a heat exchanger in the ground, geothermal energy can be utilized efficiently. A heat exchanger is typically created by running a series of pipe loops horizontally or vertically throughout
the ground, hence the term "ground loops". The ground loops are filled with water or a water based liquid and connected to a heat pump inside the building. The heat pump circulates the water through
the ground loops thus creating a heat exchanger that is far more efficient than any other source of air conditioning. Not only are they more energy efficient but also the cleanest and the most cost
efficient means of air conditioning.
Whether you're an engineer, public utility, installer, contractor, homeowner or business owner, ISCO can help you. We do our part to work with engineers, installers & contractors to develop a system
that insures the homeowner or business owner a reliable geothermal system.
