on

 

Low-Cost Energy from the Ground --

Geothermal Systems for Home Heating  & Other Applications” 

 

on

 

Saturday, March 26, 2005 ( 2 PM)

 

at the

 

East Hartford Public Library

840 Main Street, East Hartford, Connecticut

 

featuring a presentation by

 

Michael Sumple

 [ President, C.H.W., LLC (Advanced GeoThermal Tech), and Rep for ECR Technologies, New Milford, Conn.

They install geothermal systems for residential, commercial and light industrial applications ]

 

    The Earth is a large energy source/sink, which can be used for efficient, low-cost heating and cooling.    This has been done for several decades, using heat pumps, a practical, well-developed technology. This seminar will discuss the use of Geothermal Heat Pumps for heating and cooling residences & commercial buildings, and will address questions such as the following:

    How can we use the earth as an energy source for heating and cooling?  What are Geothermal Heat Pumps ?  What exactly is involved in using these for efficient heating & cooling, with the Earth as the source ? What are the systems commercially available ?  What are the costs, and how do they compare with conventional fossil-fuel systems ?   Examples of installed systems will be presented and discussed.

     The main presentation will be followed by an open discussion.   Those attending are invited to bring in their questions and ideas, and information about other relevant systems they know of.]
