🚨 Register now for the “Thermal Energy Networks in Minnesota: Where should we build them?” webinar tomorrow at 2 pm ET / 1 pm CT, where authors of the Minnesota #ThermalEnergyNetwork Site Suitability Study will discuss the study's findings. #EnergySky #Geothermal #BuildingDecarb bit.ly/4rs8P5f
Once they are placed underground, how long do #ThermalEnergyNetwork pipes last? As Derek Kobe of Green Built Construction explains, “This pipe is going to last 100 years.” This means it will serve its community with clean heating and cooling for many years past its initial installation date.
🎓Colorado Mesa University’s #ThermalEnergyNetwork is so cost-effective that it has kept tuition low. Students might pay 2% higher today if not for this #efficient heating and cooling system. #BuildingDecarb #EnergySky #ThermalEnergyThursday
