New Judicial Center Taps Geothermal Heating
KENTUCKY...
To ensure the new Pike County Judicial Center is as environmentally friendly as possible, a thermal drill is creating space for geothermal, or ground source, heat pumps. Geothermal heat is produced from heat within the earth as opposed to outside air, creating a much more energy-efficient heating source. The new judicial center is a gold certified Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design building.
