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.
