Underground Energy, LLC8 Highfield Drive , Lancaster, Massachusetts, United States

Underground Energy offers geothermal and hydrogeologic consultation, design, construction and project management services. Our clients are at the forefront of energy efficiency and sustainability. We go beyond conventional geothermal methods by focusing our services on seasonal storage and recovery of thermal energy in the subsurface – the most energy efficient geothermal technology available today for space heating and cooling.  Our mission is simple and bold: we intend to commercialize Geothermal Energy Storage technology in the US and help our clients achieve their goals of reducing heating and cooling energy costs and CO2 emissions while improving energy resiliency.

Seasonal Thermal Energy Storage

Think how much money you could save if you could store some of this winter’s cold for free air conditioning next summer. Imagine how secure and comfortable you would be if you could reverse the process and use this summer’s heat during the coldest days of winter.  Consider the savings you could realize on electricity, fossil fuels and CO2 emissions, and how the energy resiliency of your installation could be improved if you could store and recover thermal energy from one season to the next.  Envision improving your brand by embracing the greenest and most energy efficient geothermal technology available for heating and cooling, and the positive impression that would have on your employees and clients, your tenants and your community.  Seasonal thermal energy storage technology is available now. Underground Thermal Energy Storage technology is well developed and in common use in Europe, but still not well utilized in North America. It’s time to change the way we think about heating and cooling buildings in America.

Geothermal Innovation

Underground Energy is committed to innovation and quality in geothermal applications. We understand the energy efficiency and cost savings that are being realized from advanced geothermal energy storage applications in Europe, and we are leading the commercialization of underground thermal energy storage technology in the US.

Applied Hydrogeology

The importance of hydrogeology, the science of groundwater, to the success of geothermal installations is not widely appreciated. Proper orientiation of a ground heat exchanger array relative to groundwater flow direction can significantly improve the operating efficiency of a small residential geothermal system. On the cutting edge of geothermal technology, design of ATES systems requires extensive hydrogeologic knowledge. We have been practicing applied hydrogeology since the 1980s, and are experts at all aspects of site hydrogeologic characterization, hydraulic testing, groundwater flow and heat transport modeling, and geochemical evaluation. We will enthusiastically bring this skill set to your geothermal application.

We are experienced professionals. We understand the importance of honesty, integrity and hard work, and are commited to giving you superlative client service. Underground Energy staff maintain the following professional credentials:

• LEED accredited professional
• IGSHPA accredited geothermal installer
• Licensed Site Professional (Massachusetts)
• Certified Geologist (Maine)
