Richmond Review sheds light on Green builds in Richmond.

exchagnenergy is excited to be part of the Baladra homes project in Richmond BC. Balandra Homes is responsible for building the first geothermal/geo-exchange residential spec home in Richmond, Dunlin Shore; and they’ve done so in hopes of inspiring others to do the same.

Paying respect to the land as well as the First Nations People of this land played a role in their considerations as did the long term benefits geothermal/geo-exchange systems offer.

Twin, 5-Ton Independent Heat Pumps On A Primary / Secondary Loop

This unique installation features two independent pond loops which allow us to test, side-by-side, different antifreeze compounds, flow rates, and loads.

The ponds are 1,100 feet away.

6,500 sq.ft. of radiant floors, full output DHW, and pool.

All circ pumps have PT ports to monitor and adjust flow rates, never seen on residential projects.

North Vancouver Civic Library (NVCL) 40 Ton Geoexchange System

Commercial Geothermal Project North Vancouver Civic Library

Note the wide spacing and wide pitch of these slinky loops. This system has been properly designed for a specific application

exchangenergy installied a 40 ton geoexchange system under the parking levels at the North Vancouver Civic Library (NVCL). The project is built to LEED Silver Standard.

Palm House Conservatory Greenhouse Project

exchangenergy designed and installed an integrated energy exchange in this stunning glass and stainless steel conservatory specialty greenhouse project.

This 2-acre botanical research project was built to grow and showcase new cut-flower species not yet in the nursery trade and to identify new cold-hardy palm species. It features geothermal heating from well water, and a gasification boiler with 4,000 gallons of hot water storage.

The conservatory glass ceiling is 35 feet high. There are two cooling systems: one is fog and the other is chilled well water, which (when warmed) is recycled for irrigation water.

The 6 underground heating storage tanks have 4,000 gallons’ capacity and are reheated every other day by the gasification boiler.

6-Ton Heat Pump, Vertical Boreholes, Heating, Free-Cooling, DHW & Pool

This spectacular custom home overlooks Deep Cove.  exchangenergy installed a 6-ton heat pump, radiant floors and forced air free-cooling system.

3-Ton Heat Pump, Horizontal Loops, Radiant Floor Heating, A/C

2006 Gold Georgie Award winning home

2006 Gold Georgie Award winning home: Fraser Residence, Maple Bay.

2-Ton Heat Pump, Ocean Loop, Radiant Floor Heating

2004 Gold Georgie Award Winning Home

exchangenergy installed an ocean loop, geoexchange / geothermal heat pump, radiant floors and controls into this award winning home. Winner of two Gold Georgies for the Best Single family Detached Home and Best Master Suite, it was also a finalist for Best Environmental Consideration and Energy Efficiency; Best Interior Design Custom Residence; and Best Kitchen over $30,000.

18-Ton, Ocean Loop, Heating, Cooling, Year-Round Pool

exchangenergy installed an 18-Ton Ocean loop and geoexchange / geothermal heat pumps to service a 5000 sq. ft. home and a year-round swimming pool. The ocean provides a limitless thermal resource and very high operating efficiencies for the geoexchange heating plants.

The Ocean Loops were constructed in an 11 Ton Module for the pool, and a 7 Ton Module for the house. The forced air heat pumps in the residence provide full heating and air conditioning. The heat gain for the structure accounted for the high solar loadings, which are magnified by reflected light off the water. The hydronic heat pumps for the pool provide extremely low operating costs, contributing to the estimated 6-year payback for the system.

3-Ton Heat Pump, Ocean Loop, Radiant Floor Heating, DHW

Kenyon’s Pad (Architect SOS design), a 3-ton radiant floor/ocean loop geoexchange / geothermal heating system…a dynamic home that costs $25 per month to heat!

4-Ton Heat Pump, Ocean Loops, Radiant Floor Heating, DHW

Mill Bay Residence

This Mill Bay waterfront residence is over 4,000 sq.ft. exchangenergy installed a six-ton geoexchange / geothermal system with ocean loops, TEKMAR Controls, and UPONOR Radiant Floors.
