Summary
Brightcore Energy, a leading provider of end-to-end renewable energy solutions is pleased to announce that it has commenced construction of a new state-of-the-art geothermal heating and cooling project at Bard College, a private liberal arts college founded in 1860 in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY. The new system will replace the aging, fossil fuel-fired system currently in operation in The Charles P. Stevenson Jr, Library.
Brightcore is serving as the turnkey provider of the project, delivering a full scope of services, from the feasibility and design, drilling and ground loop installation, mechanical connections, incentive procurement, and upon completion, ongoing system performance monitoring. The initial scope includes 50 boreholes, drilled to a depth of 500 ft, that will contain the 1-¼ in diameter geothermal loops and thermally enhanced grout.
"We are very excited to be working with Bard College. From their leadership to their student body, this is an institution that is incredibly focused on sustainability," said Mike Richter, President of Brightcore Energy. "We truly enjoy working with all our clients, learning about their operations and their motivations for implementing energy conservation measures. Seeing the passion that the Bard College community has for conservation and sustainability firsthand is so encouraging and admirable. It’s a perfect complement to the natural beauty of their Hudson Valley campus."
