A brief description of other sources of building heating not specified above:
A geothermal well system is used for heating and cooling 3 "green" buildings currently, 2 of which are LEED certified. A geothermal heat pump is a central heating and cooling system that uses the earth as a heat source. This design takes advantage of the moderate temperatures in the ground to boost efficiency and reduce the operational costs of heating and cooling systems.
