Soil Energy
Soil energy is a sustainable way of cooling and heating buildings in an ecologically sound manner. The most commonly applied type of soil energy is cold-heat storage (CHS). The working principle of CHS is based on the insulating properties of the subsoil.
There are two systems for CHS: open and closed systems. Underground energy storage is applied in office buildings, hospitals, in cultivation under glass, in the heating of railway switches, in homes and residential areas.
