In this episode of Sustainability In Your Ear, Kathy Hannun, president and co-founder of Dandelion Energy, introduces the untapped potential of geothermal energy for residential heating and cooling. Geothermal heat pumps tap into the consistent year-round temperature of Earth’s outer crust to provide a comfortable home environment. Dandelion Energy, which emerged from Google X Lab, is revolutionizing heating and cooling options for homeowners in New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.
The Dandelion Energy system includes a heat pump inside the home and buried pipe systems, called ground loops, that transfer heat to or from the building. Geothermal technology is more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly than traditional furnaces, offering lower operating costs and reduced environmental impact. Kathy shares how the company started and its partnerships with utilities in the Northeast that are embracing geothermal to preserve their business and cut peak energy demands.
