The Future of Sustainable Living Has Arrived in Austin
Description:
This session will provide a first-hand look at how community geothermal, solar and energy
efficiency technologies are deployed in Austin and can be deployed throughout the country.
Whisper Valley is the flagship deployment of the EcoSmart GeoGrid, a hybrid loop system that
draws on the clean, thermal capacity of the Earth to cool and heat homes. Attendees will learn
how geothermal infrastructure, solar energy and other distributed energy resources can greatly
reduce energy consumption when implemented in new residential and commercial
developments in Austin and throughout the country.
