Follow on Google News | Gordon Food Service® Goes Green with Greensleeves’ GeoModule™Gordon Food Service recently announced they have chosen to incorporate Greensleeves’ GeoModule into their new 384,000 square foot building in Wyoming, Mich., according to Stephen Hamstra, Chief Technical Officer at Greensleeves.
“Gordon Food Service wanted to select a green alternative to meet the building’s heating and cooling load. The GeoModule offered a more advanced option to do so while reducing our impact on the environment,” The advantages that attracted Gordon included monitoring the loop temperature, giving control of key building mechanical systems, and notification of corrective actions. Construction is expected to be complete by late summer 2012. The GeoModule is a hybrid geothermal product that includes a prefabricated pump and controls package. This ISO9001 factory assembled package reduces the borefield size, construction time, has a smaller footprint, reduces on-site labor and increases quality control. The integrated control package leverages a cooling tower to keep the temperature of the loop at an optimal level. “This solution will, along with government incentives, make geothermal an obvious consideration because first cost is lower plus the on-going energy and maintenance cost are reduced,” said W. Michael Linn, CEO of Greensleeves. Greensleeves LLC is a client company of the University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program at the Winter Springs incubator located at 1511 E.
