Geothermal energy is a heat energy generated and stored in the Earth. Up to 46% of solar energy result from the incident solar radiation on Earth and is stored in the crust as an infinity resource. The Earth’s geothermal resources are theoretically more than adequate to supply humanity’s energy needs.

Geothermal power is considered to be renewable because any projected heat extraction is small compared to the Earth’s heat content.

The great advantage of the geothermal energy is that has a suitable temperature throughout the year (hot or cold) for the human body.

All we need to do is to pump the geothermal energy by changing its temperature and bring it into the buildings. This is what the geothermal heat pump or ground source heat pump (GSHP) does.

A geothermal heat pump or ground source heat pump (GSHP) is a central heating and/or cooling system that transfers heat to or from the ground.

It uses the earth as a heat source (in the winter) or a heat sink (in the summer). This design takes advantage of the moderate temperatures in the ground to boost efficiency and reduce the operational costs of heating and cooling systems.

HERON CONSTRUCTION SA specializes in the geothermal systems applications for heating and cooling spaces, and the production of hot water.
