Geothermal cooling is a technology that uses the earth’s stable temperature to provide cooling solutions for buildings, campuses, and communities.

Geothermal cooling systems can reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, compared to conventional air-conditioning systems.

Geothermal cooling systems can be classified into two main types: geothermal heat pumps and geothermal district cooling.

Geothermal heat pumps use a loop of pipes filled with a liquid (water, refrigerant, or a mixture) that circulates underground, where the temperature is constant.

The liquid absorbs heat from the ground in winter and releases heat to the ground in summer, providing heating and cooling for the building.

Geothermal heat pumps can be installed in horizontal, vertical, or diagonal configurations, depending on the site conditions and available space.
