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
