2 SEARCHING FOR THE UTMOST IN SPACE CONDITIONING? With an Elemental GeoExchange system you can take advantage of the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost effective space conditioning technology on the market today. * NATURAL SELECTION - THE EVOLUTION OF HEATING & COOLING GeoExchange technology harnesses the Earth s renewable thermal energy stored just below the surface or in large bodies of water for the purposes of providing forced air heating and cooling, hot and chilled water and dehumidification. The system exchanges the natural heating and cooling properties of the Earth between a building and the ground. This transfer of energy is the source of enhanced performance and environmental superiority as GeoExchange systems employ a small amount of electrical energy to capture, move and concentrate a large amount of free energy provided by the Earth. The result is the utmost in space conditioning. THE ELEMENTAL ADVANTAGE Flexibility - A single Elemental unit is capable of supplying all of the heating, cooling and domestic hot water required. No matter the climate or location, whether in the Arctic or near the Equator, an Elemental unit will provide worry-free performance. Reliability & Maintenance - The Elemental contains few moving parts and can operate reliably for years with little maintenance (Approximately one third when compared to conventional HVAC equipment**). All components within the Elemental product line have been chosen for their long-term reliability and durability. System Performance and Controls - The industry leading proprietary controls come standard on each and every Elemental unit. The controller offers precise zone temperature control, overall system monitoring and optimization, and automatic alert messaging that provides notification if the system is not operating at peak performance. Sunlight 100% Reflected - Atmosphere 6% EARTH S ENERGY BUDGET Reflected - Surface 4% Reflected - Clouds 20% Absorbed - Atmosphere 16% Absorbed - Clouds 3% The earth is a huge energy storage device that absorbs~47% of the sun s energy, over 500 times more energy than mankind needs every yearin the form of clean, renewable energy Safe & Clean - Elemental units produce no carbon monoxide and no greenhouse gas emissions. Simply installing an Elemental system is equivalent to planting an entire acre of trees or taking two cars off the road.*** Electrical unit Free Earth Energy + 4 Units of Heating or Cooling distributed to your home Extremely Cost Effective - The Elemental operating efficiencies and proprietary state of the art controls can provide up to 70% savings on heating and cooling costs when compared to conventional equipment. As it takes only 1 unit of electricity to create 4 units of heat energy, the use of an Elemental equates to tremendous overall efficiency and cost savings. Enhanced Comfort - Elemental systems produce consistent uniform heating, free of hot-spots often seen with furnaces and other conventional heating appliances, while offering increased dehumidification in cooling mode. Utility company polls indicate a higher level of customer satisfaction for GeoExchange than for conventional systems: more than 95 percent of all GeoExchange customers would recommend such systems to a family member or a friend.**** Significant ROI - From the moment the highly energy efficient Elemental unit is installed into a residence it is affording the owner a positive return on investment. If the cost of installation is added to a mortgage a home owner can expect a net positive cash flow immediately given the monthly operating savings from GeoExchange versus otherwise conventional operating costs. In a retrofit situation, home owners will typically recover their initial investment through energy savings over a reasonable period of time. Furthermore, GeoExchange systems can significantly increase property and resale values by potentially offering an increase in market value of $20 for every $1 of utility bill savings.***** * EPA/US DOE/NR CAN **US DOE ***GeoExchange Org ****GeoExchange Org *****Oakridge National Laboratory

7 GEOEXCHANGE LOOP-FIELD CONFIGURATIONS Geofinity installers are trained to assess and provide the optimum type of geo-field design for each specific project site. The most favorable loop configuration will be determined through consideration of geological conditions, available land space, drilling & trenching requirements and the ensuing overall installation costs. Vertical Loop Vertical systems are used when land area is limited. For a vertical system, holes are drilled feet apart and feet deep in a grid matrix. A pair of pipes that are connected at the bottom with a U-bend are inserted into each bore hole. The pipes are then manifolded together and brought into the home. Horizontal Loop This type of installation is generally the most cost-effective for residential installations where sufficient land is available. It requires trenches to be dug by a backhoe or trencher to approximately 6 feet. GeoExchange pipe is then layered in the trenches, and the trenches are backfilled with soil. Pond/Lake Loop If the site has an adequate body of water close to the residence, approx. 1/2 acre by 8 feet deep, this may be the lowest cost option. Supply and return pipes are run underground from the home to the pond/lake and connected to a series of closed coils. These coils are submerged to the bottom of the pond/lake. Open-Loop System This type of system is used when an abundant supply of quality well water is available. Ground water is withdrawn from the aquifer/well and pumped into the heat pump. The discharge water is directed to a secondary well. The supply aquifer/well must have adequate capacity to provide flow for the heat pump and domestic water. ELEMENTAL CONTROLS - IT S SMART TECHNOLOGY Geofinity has incorporated proprietary controls into it s entire product line, designed to regulate and monitor the system for maximum efficiencies. No other equipment in the GeoExchange space possesses the same integrated controls capabilities. The controller houses a keypad and a liquid crystal diode, or LCD screen. Some of the primary realized benefits are: Multi-zone comfort - offers 15 zones standard with potential for up to 99 An LCD screen and simple keypad are incorporated into the controller to promote equipment functionality through ease of use The system can be upgraded to become interoperable with other building management systems and create an integrated smart building The LCD screen constantly displays active and stored data, providing the operator with quality of service and performance. The keypad is outfitted with simple, easy to understand, colored pads and directional arrows that simplify data collection and storage. The system is designed to provide standard notifications, such as the outside temperature, set point and inside temperature, troubleshooting notifications, as well as changeover from heating to cooling and the existence of a fouled or dirty air filter.
