Sydney Central: August 2010 Meeting
At the next meeting of the Sydney Central Branch, Yale Carden will provide an overview of geoexchange systems and how they are applied in both residential and commercial buildings as well as at the district scale. Yale will outline the feasibility of applying the technology to a particular project as well as case studies of existing installations.
Geoexchange systems (also called ground source or geothermal heat pump systems) provide efficient heating, cooling and hot water through the use of stored solar energy present within the ground or a body of water. Geoexchange systems also appear in the Aldo Lepold Legacy Centre, considered to be the world’s greenest building, and in commercial and institutional projects around the world and in Australia.
Yale has 15 years experience in the environmental / sustainability industry and the past five as Managing Director of GeoExchange Australia.
At the meeting, we will be celebrating ATA’s 30th Birthday and also having some discussion about future projects.
Time: 6 pm to 8 pm on Tuesday August 10.
Location: Wallaby Room, Telstra Building,11th floor, 320 Pitt St, Sydney
