Thermal Energy Networks

A thermal energy network uses a network of pipes to connect multiple buildings together, often including a large anchor off-taker (e.g., college/university, hospital), and to thermal sources and sinks, such as geothermal, surface water, waste heat, and the air, to provide space heating cooling and domestic hot water. This technology is an effective way for municipalities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
