Geothermal energy

The geothermal energy heat pumps employ this natural phenomenon by extracting heat from the ground in the winter for heating and converting it in the summer for cooling. By simply employing a free and widely available source, it is possible to use a single system in an extremely functional manner to heat and cool indoor environments. The geothermal energy system is based on three fundamental elements: a heat pump (normally located inside the building), a series of underground tubes to exchange heat with the ground, a system for exchanging heat with the indoor environment (radiant plates, air inlets and outlets, low-temperature radiant panels, etc.).
