Zero Energy Building using the Toscano heat exchanger for GSHP (Geothermal). The building employes radiant heating & cooling with ERV and traditional air distribution systems. Hydraulic separator with low temperature radiant system and an a Hybrid heat pump for DHW (helps to dehumidify the Geo mechanical room while providing hot water) An EV charging station is being installed-powered by solar PV. The solar PV system offset the complete load with the extra kWh will be used for the EV charging station.
