Embracing The Shift: A New Era in Clean Energy
I am thrilled to share insights from the Ontario Geo Thermal Association Annual Conference, where industry leaders, public sector professionals, and innovators converged to drive the shift towards clean energy solutions.
Day 1 focused on the burgeoning demand for geothermal heating and cooling in multi-residential real estate and the public sector. This is not just a trend; it’s a vital strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions! Developers and public sector professionals from healthcare, education, and municipalities gathered to explore large-scale projects, system design, installation, costs, maintenance, and long-term efficiency. Together, we are paving the way towards sustainable living and responsible energy use.
