ASHRAE Technology Award: Geothermal for 5 Ecosystems

An energy saving retrofit was performed on the Biodome, part of Montreal Space for Life, the largest natural science museum complex in Canada, from 2008 to 2010. The building houses five different ecosystems, varying greatly in temperature, humidity and light requirements for hundreds of animal and plant species. The $8.1 million project reduced energy costs by 52% and greenhouse gas emissions by 80%.
