Other companies involved: Ikea, Greenberg Farrow, Acies, Geothermal Systems of Colorado, LLC

The Project at a Glance: Working closely with the owner, architectural and engineering teams, Geo-Xergy developed a holistic approach to saving energy for a 415,000 square foot IKEA store in Colorado. This method ensured the need for a smaller ground heat exchanger, resulting in savings for the client.

Features & Innovations:

• Geothermal heating and cooling with vertical ground heat exchanger under the building
• Controlled ventilation system
• Ice storage tanks – to reduce equipment requirements and maximize electrical capacity
• Heat dissipation / snow melt – to eliminate the need for a cooling tower for the system
• High-efficiency lighting
• White roof
