Underground Energy Service Offerings
Underground Energy is in the business of designing and constructing highly efficient geothermal-based heating and cooling systems for green buildings. We deliver savings in life-cycle energy costs realized by site-specific application of underground thermal energy storage technology. We can provide turnkey design and construction management services from initial feasibility evaluations to commissioning of building energy systems.
