Geothermal Systems
As energy costs continue to rise, geothermal heating/cooling systems
provide a cost-effective, on-site renewable energy alternative to conventional
HVAC systems. Owners, developers and architects are increasingly discovering
the feasibility and savings from geothermal energy. Geothermal systems
use the natural thermal capacity of the soil and rock beneath your property
to cool and heat your building or home. These systems qualify for Leadership
in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certification points as a
result.
SAK Environmental partners with mechanical/electrical/plumbing (M/E/P)
design firms, well drillers, and ground source heat pump manufacturers
to provide turnkey services for open and closed loop geothermal wells.
SAK has more than 20 years experience in well design, drilling inspection,
water quality evaluation, and aquifer studies. SAK's technical experts
include hydrogeologists, geologists, chemists, engineers, construction
managers, and compliance specialists. Proper well construction, water
chemistry analysis, and regulatory permits should not be overlooked when
designing or installing geothermal heating/cooling systems. Improperly
designed wells may lead to underperforming systems, increased maintenance,
and regulatory enforcement. Architects, M/E/P designers, and developers
can benefit from SAK's expertise for an optimal performing geothermal
system.
