Description
Justin Jobe of Enertech Global gives an introduction to geothermal technology.
A
When
it
comes
to
CEO
of
co2
emissions,
homes
pollute
way
more
than
current
model
cars.
Do
we
have
all
these
things
like
catalytic
converters
and
all
these
things
that
make
gas
burning
vehicles
I'm,
not
saying
that
they're
great
I'm,
just
saying
that
they're,
the
emissions
are
not
nearly
as
bad
as
homes
are
so
anyway,
so
geothermal
technology?
What
is
it
and
how
does
it
work?
A
It's
actually
a
like
solar,
it's
indirect,
solar,
the
Sun
heats
the
earth,
we're
pulling
heat
from
the
earth,
we're
using
that
heat,
the
mild
temperatures
that
are
deep
in
the
earth
to
heat
and
cool
the
home.
So
here
in
this
part
of
the
world,
we
have
a
deep
earth
temperature
of
about
55
to
57
degrees,
and
we
can
take
that
heat
and
we
can
ramp
it
up
in
the
wintertime
to
heat
your
home
and
we
can
reject
heat
into
that
ground
in
the
summertime.
A
So
you
cool
your
home,
and
so
you
can
see
here
in
that
slide
that
the
the
slides
are
fast.
Yeah
I'm
not
used
to
this
thing.
So
so
anyway.
So
it's
a
heat
source
in
the
winter
time
and,
like
I,
said
in
this
slide
here,
they're
showing
45
to
55,
which
is
average
around
the
world
here
in
this
part
of
the
country
like
I,
said
it's
55
to
57
degrees
and
by
way
of
a
refrigeration
circuit,
we're
ramping
that
heat
up
to
heat
your
home
and
keep
it
at
70
degrees.
A
On
the
opposite
side
of
that,
we
have
a
reversing
valve
and
we
take
that
same
55
to
57
degrees
and
with
the
refrigeration
circuit
works
much
in
the
same
way
as
a
refrigerator
does
we're
using
it
to
make
cooler
temperatures
and
and
air
conditioning
your
home.
So
by
generally
speaking,
we
do
this
with
a
closed-loop
system
of
piping
that
is
buried
in
the
ground.
There's
many
ways
to
do
this.
A
This
is
always
something
that's
available
to
you,
no
matter
what,
where
you
live,
there's
always
a
way
to
make
this
happen,
but
we're
circulating
water
and
antifreeze
mixture
through
these
pipes
out
in
the
ground,
so
we're
making
the
property
that
you
just
work
for
you,
instead
of
just
mowing
that
ground
you're
actually
getting
some
good
out
of
it.
And
so
what
you
see
here
is
a
typical
geothermal
heat
pump,
this
unit,
guys
heating
and
cooling,
and
it
also
as
a
byproduct,
does
domestic
hot
water,
so
closed-loop
systems
like
I,
said:
there's
many
different
forms.
A
This
is
not
a
new
technology.
It's
been
around.
You
can
see
here
this
life
magazine,
article
was
October
25th
and
1948.
They
called
the
fireless
furnace.
This
has
been
around
a
very
long
time.
It's
not
witchcraft.
It's
not
it's!
It's
honestly!
It's
it's
really
simple.
The
way
it
operates
so
applications
for
geothermal
is
really
any
space
that
needs
to
be
heated
or
cooled.
It
can
be
forced
there.
It
can
be
heating
water.
You
can
do
radiant
floors,
any
type
of
heating
or
cooling
system
that
you've
seen
or
heard
about.
A
That's
a
boiler
furnace
air
conditioner
we
can
do
with
geothermal,
so
a
lot
of
the
benefits
of
geothermal,
of
course,
are
the
the
cost
savings
from
getting
rid
of
fossil
fuels,
especially
if
you're
on
LP.
Anyone
in
here
that
is
on
LP
knows
how
drastically
those
prices
can
change.
But,
of
course
the
the
the
green
side
of
this
is.
You
know
no
different
than
the
cool
Tesla's
getting
getting
rid
of
the
the
CO
emissions
coming
out
of
your
home
and
going
all-electric
in
in
today's
world.
A
It's
all
about
the
electrification
of
everything
our
daily
lives,
whether
it
be
cars
or
our
homes,
and
so
the
graphs
that
you've
seen
pretty
much
from
everyone
here
tonight
show
that
heating,
cooling
and
making
hot
water
is
the
biggest
expenses
that
you
have
in
your
home,
and
so
by
making
your
land
work
for
you
and
using
what
effectively
is
solar
energy?
That's
just
stored
in
the
earth?
You
can
save
a
lot
of
money
and
you
can
reduce
a
tremendous
amount
of
greenhouse
gases.
A
You
know,
and
so
heating
and
cooling
with
geothermal
is
not
only
has
a
huge
impact
on
the
environment,
but
it
also
has
a
huge
impact
on
your
energy
costs.
So
now
that
I'm
not
even
really
looking
at
any
of
these
so-so
residential
energy
use,
these
these
graphs
are
very
similar
to
what
you're
going
to
see
from
the
Power
Company
heating,
cooling
and
making
hot
water
are
the
largest
percentage
of
what
you
pay.
A
For
you
know,
in
your
monthly
power
bill
and
by
going
to
to
a
geothermal
system,
you
end
up
with
getting
a
lot
of
that
heat
straight
from
the
ground,
and
so
it
just
lowers
your
energy
cost.
You
can
also
do
things
like
adding
insulation,
and
you
know
improving,
and
any
of
those
improvements
are
worthwhile
and
worth
doing.
A
However,
it
also
comes
with
there's
a
lot
of
benefits:
that's
free,
renewable
energy,
its
quiet
operation,
there's
no
outdoor
equipment,
it's
all
electric,
you
don't
have
any
gas
in
the
home
at
all:
increased
comfort
levels,
more
revived,
more
reliable
equipment,
there's
less
maintenance,
and
you
do
not
have
air
conditioners
sitting
out
back
where
you
want
to
spend
time
and
hang
out
when
the
weather
is
good,
so
geothermal
heat
pumps
can
run
off
renewable
energy
sources
just
like
the
the
cool
Tesla's,
because
the
system
is
all
electric.
