3 Ways to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint With Commercial Geothermal Heating

The buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is the primary driver of climate change, making it imperative for businesses to reduce their carbon footprint. Doing so in tandem with international efforts to control global warming and its potentially disastrous effects can have a substantial impact on our future. Here are three of the easiest ways for businesses to reduce their carbon footprint is by switching to commercial geothermal heating.

1. Decrease Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Commercial geothermal heating uses the natural heat inside the earth to heat buildings. When using it as a heating source, its non-reliance on fossil fuels gives businesses a way to decrease the amount of greenhouse gas emissions they produce, particularly carbon monoxide.

2. Decrease Energy Use

Geothermal HVAC systems are among the most energy-efficient available. They use a closed-loop system to transfer heat from the soil to a building, which is more efficient than other forms of heating. Because of this, companies can lessen their dependency on electricity, reducing their carbon footprint.

3. Decreasing Your Energy Bills

Some experts claim that geothermal heating can reduce energy costs by up to 50%. With a lower monthly heating bill comes the ability to invest your savings in renewable energy sources beyond geothermal heating. Finding and executing innovative carbon reduction strategies is great for the environment as well as your company’s reputation.
