Geothermal heat pumps are among the most efficient heating and cooling solution for commercial, institutional, and government buildings. Also referred to as ground source heat pumps (GSHP), geothermal heating and cooling leverages the stable temperature that exists just below the ground surface to significantly improve the efficiency of building climate control.

In the winter, the heat pump boosts the relatively warm ground temperature to heat the building. In the summertime, the geothermal system rejects heat to the cool ground and uses the cool ground temperatures to operate at extremely high efficiencies.

For every unit of electricity used, 4 units of energy comes from the ground in the form of renewable heat. This makes geothermal systems up to 50% more efficient than conventional air conditioning.
