#GeoExchange
Take a trip below #UofT's St. George campus to see how Canada's largest urban geoexchange system will use the Earth as a giant, emissions-reducing thermal battery. 🔋 uoft.me/geo

Why yes, I did go on a tour of the ground source heat pumps at my 25th college reunion (thanks @carleton.edu !). #geothermal #geoexchange

Gotta do geoexchange and PPAs for clean power (and distributed solar where it makes sense), I suppose. Turn over the vehicle fleet and electrify the kitchens.

Construction crews are busy connecting buildings on #UofT’s historic St. George campus to Canada’s largest urban geoexchange system – a massive, underground thermal battery that is transforming how the university heats & cools its buildings. 🌱 uoft.me/bKy

If they go with a geoexchange system like Princeton, they might cut that 104MW to a third of that, and merely double their electricity peak rather than quadruple it.

Kudos to Oberlin College for bringing their geothermal network online. "All told, the system will save the college an estimated $1 million per year in operations and maintenance, cut its water use by more than 5 million gallons per year"

Another one of my "If I had Mackenzie Scott money" fantasies is setting a college up with a geoexchange system and a solar array.
Only one condition, you must name it: The Subsurface mediated internal loop for lowering icky emissions - the SMILLIE. And it would lower OpEx!
“Everyone thinks universities have to do what donors want because they pay the bills. But that gets it backward. Giant donations, he’s come to realize, often increase the university’s bills, generating new operating expenses for projects that have only tenuous links to the university’s core mission”

Have the funds that might have trained the next generation of scholars at the nation’s first research university have been blown on ostentatious new buildings?

Ground source heat pump for HVAC is worth a look. Check out what Univ. of Toronto did under the Front Campus - largest geoexchange system in North America

Really excited to see Smith College profiling the fact that the first phase of our campus #geothermal system is now online (on the way to an 80% GHG reduction!). #geoexchange #decarbonization

At Princeton, replacing the steam pipe & switching existing buildings to water loops is probably the most expensive part of the whole campus geoexchange project. (Also most disruptive as they dig up sidewalks and paths across campus to do the switch).

Campus buildings are staying warm this winter due in part to the hottest days of last summer, all thanks to our extensive geoexchange system: https://bit.ly/3zM78uy

I'd also like to compliment them for interviewing a man named "Mr. Borer" for this article on geoexchange wells.

The idea is to allow what are currently gas utilities to build geoexchange networks… gives them something new to ratebase.
