Celsius Vitality can be implementing a geothermal heating and cooling system for the modernization of the BPAURA’s administrative constructing in Corenc, France.
Shallow geothermal power specialist Celsius Vitality has been engaged by banking group Banque Populaire Auvergne Rhône Alpes (BPAURA) to implement a geothermal heating and cooling system as a part of the modernization of the corporate’s 7680-sq. m. administrative constructing in Corenc, France.
Celsius Vitality will deploy its know-how by drilling 12 inclined boreholes 120 meters deep, every outfitted with double “U” probes. The innovation of inclined probes reduces the footprint needed for finishing up the work. On the floor, the 12 boreholes deliberate for the Corenc web site will use a ground area equal to that of two parking areas. The entire system by Celsius Vitality will embody a geothermal warmth pump and a digital management system to observe and optimize power efficiency.
The geothermal resolution will cowl 88% of the constructing’s heating wants and 94% of its cooling wants. This result’s consistent with the BPAURA’s aim of lowering its carbon footprint and complying with the necessities of the brand new ELAN regulation to cut back power consumption by 40% by 2030 and 60% by 2050.
BPAURA can be endeavor different efforts to cut back power consumption on the Corenc web site. These will embody the set up of 500 photo voltaic panels, relamping with LED lighting, and the implementation of a technical constructing administration (BMS) for the regulation and administration of power methods. The modernization work is being headed by Bouygues Bâtiment Sud-Es and is predicted to be accomplished by 2024.
“With this challenge, we reveal that geoenergy is an easy, renewable and replicable resolution for any power renovation challenge for a tertiary constructing. Geoenergy additionally has the benefit of having the ability to be used on almost 97% of French territory,” mentioned Cindy Demichel, CEO of Celsius Vitality.
“Banque Populaire Auvergne Rhône Alpes, dedicated to the environmental transition, is taking a major step ahead with this revolutionary use of floor geothermal power. This initiative not solely reinforces our dedication to power effectivity, but additionally demonstrates our skill to innovate to cut back our carbon footprint and be consistent with environmental challenges by 2050,” added Daniel Karyotis, Managing Director of the BPAURA.
Earlier than the top of 2023, Celsius Vitality began began the work for a geothermal district heating and cooling community in Ferney-Voltaire in Ain, France, close to the Geneva Airport. The challenge is concentrating on commissioning by 2030.
