Greenscape
Capital Group Inc., Vancouver,
British Columbia, announces that
the geothermal boreholes have been completed at the Denver Greenpark LLC (GP)
green parking facility.
The
geothermal system at GP will be used to heat and cool the portion of the
parking facility that is indoor and climate-controlled.
Seven
boreholes were drilled on-site, each to a depth of approximately 300 feet. The
boreholes were drilled with a 4.75-inch bit, and loaded with 1-inch diameter
high-density polyethylene geo-loop, and then grouted with thermal enhanced
grout. During the heating season, the circulated fluid temperature will drop,
and during the cooling season, the loop field temperature will be increased.
Typical temperatures of the loop field will range between 40 degrees F to 75
degrees F, depending on weather. The work was completed by Rogers & Sons
Inc., based out of Denver.
In
addition to the geothermal heating and cooling system, other green features at
GP include a solar power array and wind turbines for power generation, LED
lighting and electric vehicle charging stations.
