The Denver Museum of Nature & Science has received a USD 250,000 grant from the Colorado Energy Office. This funding will support the development of spatially coordinated engineering designs to explore the feasibility of a geothermal heating and cooling system, which has the potential to reduce the load on the Museum’s natural gas steam boilers. A team of experts from Qvantum will work on defining the technical solution and providing support as the project undergoes evaluation to determine its viability.
The design work will be coordinated by BCER with Merestone providing project suppprt. They will be aided by experts from Swedish heat pump system company Qvantum. They have all been part of designing low-temperature heating and cooling systems for mixed-use systems in the UK, Sweden and other parts of the world. They will also work closely together with the Museum’s team of internal systems experts and general contractors.
