Breakthrough Indie Energy Smart Geothermal™ Technology
Winner of 2009 U.S. Department of Energy funding award for transformational technology.
Reducing the amount of energy used to heat and cool buildings is one of the most meaningful ways we can increase building energy efficiency, lower operating costs, and reduce our carbon footprint. While geothermal systems have been used in rural locations for decades, the technology did not exist to implement systems in larger commercial buildings and in urban areas, with proven return on investment.
Indie Energy has developed the technology needed to make geothermal energy systems widely available and affordable in 90% of buildings, both existing and new:
- RightSize™ Geothermal Simulation and Design
Commercial strength technology for the simulation of geothermal heating and cooling systems that generates economical designs and investment-grade energy savings projections. - ProvenGround™ Geothermal Drilling and Energy Field Creation
Construction of production-scale, geothermal energy fields in space-constrained, high demand, and regulated environments. - Scientific Geothermal Resource Quantification
The most powerful and precise thermal response test available, allowing geothermal system performance to be accurately modeled by proving out the transient thermal properties of a specific site and associated geological formation. - GeoPod™ Monitoring, Metering and Control
Real-time metering, verification, and control of the Smart Geothermal™ system provides ongoing energy savings, CO2 avoidance, and system performance information, as well as system-wide control for optimal efficiency and lowest maintenance cost. - Smart Geothermal™ Financing Technology
Financial innovations that reduce or eliminate first cost premium.
