Geothermal Heat Pumps
a sustainable precinct initiative

Geothermal heat pumps take advantage of the stable temperatures of the earth through the year to heat and cool our buildings. A liquid/gas medium is circulated through underground pipes absorbing some heat from the ground in winter and exporting all of the heat to the ground in summer. This design means the mechanical air-conditioning plant does less work improving energy efficiency.

loop is at the forefront of sustainable innovation, putting sustainable living within the grasp of more Canberrans by making it easy accessible and an attractive way of life. loop will provide all life’s necessities within walking distance, reducing dependence on vehicles and therefore reducing carbon emissions.

loop is a 40,000 square metre precinct which will incorporate the latest  innovations to create Canberra’s very first socially, economically and environmentally sustainable community.
