Proposal summary:
This project aims to supplement an open loop geothermal system with a wind powered in-wall heating/cooling unit to regulate the temperature and humidity of a community storage room. The goal is to create a model that uses sustainable energy to lower utility costs as much as possible. Its primary focus will be on grain storage, but the facility will store a diverse number of local goods on a greatest need basis.
