RiverHeath Project
RiverHeath is a 16 acre mixed use development along the shores of the Fox River in Appleton, Wisconsin.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded the project a grant to help fund its geothermal exchange heating and cooling system. Green energy right from the river!
This project consisted of installing a 600 ton Slim Jim® Assembly at RiverHeath in Wisconsin.
The goal of the project was to produce a closed loop neighborhood-wide geothermal exchange system using the river as the source of heat exchange.
Using heat exchangers plates in water requires less capital infrastructure than boreholes, so the key is to quantify both infrastructure and operational savings.
