"The state-of-the-art system delivers 100% of the heating and cooling requirements to the 270,000-square-foot, 16-story structure by combining geothermal loops in 63 foundation piles with rooftop-sited modular air and ground sourced heat pumps. The hybrid system includes an active controls system that analyzes real-time ground and air temperature data to responsively provide maximum energy efficiency at minimal operating cost which enables the system to be optimized as building use and climate changes over the years."

Geo@MIT Advanced Decarbonization for MIT's Campus:

To see the next generation of HVAC well beyond that NYC example, check out the Geo@MIT plan which adds all of A) whole campus decarbonization, B) active Thermal Batteries which are a low impact more advanced "multi-phase thermal pile" usable in retrofit applications, C) uses existing exhaust/make-up air that is already installed in all buildings instead of adding ASHP to roofs, D) fully coordinates with the emerging Clean Energy Grid to minimize power cost and maximize grid decarbonization pace, and E) will lead to the fastest overall Decarbonization that we must achieve for #RealClimateAction ... fully decarbonizing MIT's campus by ~2035 if leaders Act Now!!
