Mountain Research Station

Recently, the Geothermal grant team members met with an engineer and facility operators at the Mountain Research Station in Waynesville, NC to discuss and review plans for the new Geothermal System that will be implemented in the coming months. The system will be constructed on an existing building on the MRS property that will ultimately be used as a pre-cooling station. Once the harvested crops are in the building, observations will take place to review the efficiency of the Geothermal vs. the current traditional HVAC system in regards to the speed and quality of pre-cooling efforts.
