Zalău A hypermarket chain is expanding its portfolio with a new two-storey hypermarket and associated car park in Zalău. Due to the site's geological conditions—requiring deep excavations in the south and embankments in the north—sheet pile walls and pile foundations are the most suitable solution. GEOEG, in collaboration with GreenTAGS, conducted an opportunity study to explore the potential of these energy geostructures. The study demonstrates that these innovative solutions can serve as a viable renewable energy source, capable of covering 100% of the building’s thermal energy needs. By integrating sustainability into building foundations, this partnership continues to drive energy-efficient solutions, reducing environmental impact and enhancing energy independence. 📷 GreenTAGS   #Engineering #Geothermal #SustainableDesign #EnergyGeostructures #GEOEGProject

We are excited to announce that GEOEG has been invited to the 19th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, curated by Carlo Ratti! Our contribution to La Biennale aims to raise awareness about the threats posed by underground climate change and the opportunity to transform such phenomenon into a clean thermal energy source for cities. Join us at Biennale Architettura 2025 to discover how geothermal energy can help shape the smart cities of tomorrow! More details about our project will be released soon—stay tuned!

Optimization of geothermal systems When it comes to geothermal systems, thermal performance is key. Our experience at GEOEG shows that an optimized energy design not only enhances the thermal power that can be harnessed from the ground but also significantly reduces the operational costs of ground source heat pump systems. Using advanced numerical models, we can: ✓ Analyze, compare, and define the best geothermal borehole configurations ✓ Optimize pipe layout, location, length, and diameter ✓ Analyze the complex fluid dynamics and heat transfer processes that govern these heat exchangers and can be controlled to maximize performance Are you considering geothermal for one of your new building assets? Let our team help you find the most efficient and sustainable solution. 📷 GEOEG                                                                                                          #GeothermalEnergy #Sustainability #Geothermalborehole #Optimization #EnergyEfficiency #Engineering

LightWalk In the heart of Seoul’s Gangnam district, a groundbreaking project designed by Dominique Perrault Architecture is taking shape: the Gangnam International Transit Center. This visionary transportation hub, seamlessly connecting the Bongeunsaro and Tehrananro neighborhoods through the LightWalk landscape project, is now under construction. As part of this transformation, GEOEG performed the schematic design of an energy geostructure system capable of meeting 100% of the thermal energy requirements for naturally and mechanically ventilated areas. By coupling these geostructures with a thermal labyrinth, this design sets a new benchmark for urban energy independence. 📷DPA     #UrbanDevelopment #Innovation #Gangnam #TransitCenter #Architecture #GEOEGprojects

Optimizing geothermal borehole fields with advanced numerical analyses At GEOEG, we leverage advanced analysis to optimize geothermal borehole fields by introducing tailored geometries and operational strategies. This approach has allowed us to reduce drilling lengths by up to 20%, significantly cutting installation costs while boosting thermal efficiency and adapting systems to site-specific conditions. The result? Sustainable, high-performance solutions that drive the energy transition forward.          📷 GEOEG                                                                                                           #GeothermalEnergy #Sustainability #Geothermalborehole #Optimization

Walgreens Evanston Alimenter un magasin net-zéro à Evanston, dans l'Illinois, aux États-Unis — un véritable témoignage d'innovation durable. Cette installation visionnaire intègre diverses solutions d’énergie renouvelable. Des panneaux photovoltaïques, des petites éoliennes et de l’énergie géothermique se combinent pour fournir de l’électricité renouvelable ainsi que le chauffage et la climatisation au bâtiment. Renforcé par les résultats des tests sur site d’un échangeur de chaleur géothermique réalisés par Midwest Geothermal, GEOEG a effectué des analyses numériques avancées pour évaluer la capacité du système géothermique de ce projet emblématique sur une durée de vie de conception de 50 ans. 📷 Cyclone Energy Group 📷 GEOEG #NetZero #EnergiesRenouvelables #Ingénierie #Géothermie #Tests #GEOEGProject

Season's Greetings from the GEOEG Team! As the year comes to a close, we want to extend our warmest wishes to all our valued clients. Your trust and collaboration have been essential to our success, and we are deeply grateful for your continued partnership. We look forward to support you in the year ahead and wish you a joyful holiday season and a prosperous New Year!

Subsurface heat island Did you know that the ground beneath cities is warming up due to subsurface heat islands but this represents an opportunity to enhance the sustainability of cities? Subsurface urban heat islands are a pervasive phenomenon in urban areas worldwide, which can represent an issue for the health of subsurface ecosystems, the comfort of people using mass transit services in the subsurface, and the operation of transportation and civil infrastructure. For the first time, GEOEG quantified the intensity of a subsurface urban heat island for the city of Lausanne, Switzerland, with a twofold goal: (1) identify the major sources of waste heat beneath the city and (2) propose sustainable retrofit interventions in underground environments to enhance the energy efficiency of buildings at the urban scale. Our study resulted in the development of a detailed subsurface thermal cadaster for the city, encompassing localized and diffused drivers of such phenomenon, like building basements, district heating networks, and sewer networks. This tool has not only allowed to identify “underground hot spots” that can be mitigated via the thermal insulation of underground structures but also to identify preferential zones for the deployment of geothermal technologies that can absorb and reutilize part of the heat that would be wasted otherwise in the ground. Are you a city interested in obtaining a comparable assessment to boost your environmental conservation priorities? Please contact us to know more how we can help! 📷GEOEG #UrbanSustainability #SurfaceHeatIslands #SubsurfaceHeatIslands #GEOEGProject

Genève L'État de Genève planifie huit grands projets urbains d'ici 2035, et GEOEG a été mandaté pour évaluer le potentiel géothermique des géostructures énergétiques. L'étude a permis d'identifier des zones d'intérêt, offrant ainsi une opportunité de valoriser la chaleur du sous-sol pour le chauffage et le refroidissement des bâtiments. Les résultats révèlent un potentiel significatif pour ces applications, marquant une avancée prometteuse vers la construction de quartiers plus efficients et durables. Ces initiatives ouvrent la voie à des solutions concrètes, susceptibles d'inspirer d'autres régions et villes à travers le monde.   📷GEOEG #UrbanismeDurable #Géothermie #SmartCities #GEOEGProject
