I wonder if this is because of the NYC law that was passed prohibiting gas connections to buildings.
It says the swimming pool will be heated with geothermal energy. Would not that make the temperature cold? It would be better to use solar power to heat the pool.
Heat exchangers should be given a heavier role here. Heat emissions from the refrigerators plus air conditioners should heat the central water heater and boilers.
- stephen_g 4y agoThey must be using a heat pump (from the ground source) for the pool, otherwise yes it would be way too cold. I have often thought about the idea of using heat from refrigerators but I think that would be more trouble than it's worth for small domestic fridges. But definitely if they have this ground source system, they use that as a shared heat reservoir that the heat pumps air conditioning apartments in summer reject heat into and the heat pumps heating hot water draw from.
