EcoSmart Solution
Geothermal Energy System
EcoSmart Solution offers an answer to a longstanding
question: “How do you build affordable, sustainable homes
and communities?” The answer is found in a geothermal
energy system. But although geothermal energy is
considered a very practical and effective way to naturally
heat and cool a home, upfront infrastructure costs make
the system cost prohibitive. Many homebuyers are priced
out of their ability to participate in sustainable living.
EcoSmart Solution uses an innovative and community-
wide geogrid to combine geothermal heating and cooling
into a system that cuts a home’s power consumption by
60 to 70 percent. The process utilizes a loop field that
enables geothermal-generated power to be shared among
multiple residences, keeping costs down for owners. It’s
