Microsoft Campus To Heat and Cool Using Geothermal

Microsoft  Redmond Campus Embraces Sustainable Future with Geothermal Innovation By: Robert Buluma In an era where climate change looms large, every step towards sustainability is a leap forward for humanity. Enter Microsoft's Redmond campus, where innovation meets environmental responsibility in a groundbreaking project set to redefine corporate sustainability standards. The crown jewel of this endeavor? The Geothermal Energy Center (TEC), a marvel of engineering designed to heat and cool millions of square feet of office space using geothermal energy—a virtually carbon-neutral solution that promises to revolutionize the way we think about corporate campuses. Picture this: a 6.5-acre geothermal well field, consisting of nearly 900 boreholes drilled up to 550 feet deep, quietly humming beneath the surface, delivering 50% of the campus's heating and cooling needs without emitting a single ounce of carbon. It's not just sustainable; it's a game-changer. But here's the
