Heat from deep underground instead of heating oil.
About 2,300 liters of heating oil per year are consumed
In Münster, an oil-fired heating system with an annual consumption of approximately 2,300 liters was completely removed and replaced with a Heat Pump connected to a deep borehole.
The new Plant also features integrated natural cooling.

From Oil Heating to Geothermal Heating
In Münster, an oil-fired heating plant that consumed about 2,300 liters per year had previously met the building’s heating needs. MECO replaced the old plant with a Brine Heat Pump connected to a deep borehole. The work required for this—drilling, core drilling, electrical installation, water treatment, and restoration of the terrace—was coordinated across six trades and completed in about a week and a half.

What Deep Drilling Means for Operations
Instead of drawing heat from the ambient air, the Brine Heat Pump uses a ground probe to tap into the heat stored underground. The deep drilling required for this involves a one-time construction effort, but in return it also provides natural cooling in the summer without the need for a separate air conditioning unit.
Implemented by an OVUM partner company
The removal of the oil-fired heating system, drilling work, installation of the Brine Heat Pump, and coordination of the various trades involved were all handled by a single point of contact.
