Shared District Thermal Network
District energy utility

One ground. Many buildings.

Geothermal does not have to stop at the property line. Geodel is developing shared thermal infrastructure for buildings, campuses and communities.

How it works

01

Connect

Buildings connect to shared underground thermal infrastructure.

02

Exchange

Individual heat pumps move thermal energy into or out of each building.

03

Balance

Different building loads can help balance the network across time.

04

Store

The ground and dedicated storage can hold useful thermal energy for later use.

05

Learn

Geodel's monitoring and control layer tracks performance and improves operations.

Target deployment

Where we start

Universities and Campuses

Concentrated buildings, long-term ownership and research potential.

Schools and Public Facilities

Repeatable assets with community visibility.

Multifamily Housing

Dense thermal demand and strong retrofit potential.

Hospitals & Healthcare

Year-round thermal loads and critical reliability needs.

New Developments

Design shared geothermal infrastructure from the beginning.

Neighborhood & Municipal Projects

Build thermal infrastructure at community scale.

Thermal utility vision

Geothermal as infrastructure.

We do not see a collection of heat pumps. We see a thermal utility.

The pipes beneath a district can become shared infrastructure. Borefields can become long-life energy assets. Buildings can become participants in a thermal network. The system can then be monitored, maintained and improved over decades.
