Solar Powered District Heating
Owen Square Community Energy Project
Interseasonal Heat Transfer is controlled by an Energy Centre Skid
which uses ASHPs powered by PV electricity to transfer summer heat down to ThermalBanks in the ground.
The ICAX Energy Centre Skid incorporates a heat pump to recycle heat back to the building in winter without burning fossil fuels.
IHT doubles the Coefficient of Performance of the heat pump by starting from a warm ThermalBank.
