There is a lot of talk about geothermal energy, but in reality, the average citizen will not necessarily know if this method of energy production is suitable for their lifestyle, how to install it at home, etc. In order to answer these questions and many others, France Géothermie has published a guide "Geothermal energy at home" available on the Internet and at its dealers.

“Geothermal energy at home”, the new geothermal energy guide for everyone

France Géothermie is launching “Geothermal energy at home,” the first guide to geothermal and aerothermal energy available to the public.

Increasingly expensive fuel oil, the planned end of oil production, the search for clean and renewable energy, and environmental concerns: geothermal energy is more than ever in line with the needs and expectations of today's society.

Geothermal energy is the ultimate sustainable development energy because it is renewable, economical and non-polluting. It meets the current environmental concerns of public authorities (Grenelle de l'environnement) and individuals keen to save energy.

"Geothermal Energy at Home" is prefaced by science journalist Marc Lesggy, host and producer of the E=M6 show. This 50-page book, abundantly illustrated with diagrams and photos, provides a comprehensive overview of the domestic uses of geothermal and aerothermal energy.

Its comprehensive summary explores the history of geothermal energy, the various principles of capture, the various heat pump technologies, the uses of geothermal and aerothermal energy for heating, domestic hot water, cooling, and air conditioning, the ecological and economic benefits, and the available assistance. Finally, a chapter provides clear and simple answers to the many questions everyone has about this new energy.

The guide "Geothermal Energy in My Home" is available free of charge from France Géothermie dealers. It can also be viewed on the website: www.guide-geothermie.org
