Youth Village goes GREEN!
How?
It’s a bit like rocket science (at least for me) so I am not gonna attempt to write an expert journal on it but I will explain it as simple as I can or as how I understand it to be. Otherwise google ‘geo-thermal heating’ and you might stumble on a Wikipedia entry that may be helpful to you. In the end I will give a link to a YouTube video which will explains it further but this is not an official endorsement from the builders, so believe it at your own risk.
Apparently, the temperature underground is constantly warm which means it can heat up the buildings without using gas or electricty but by simply running the pipes underground. The pipes are filled with a special fluid which heats up quickly which will be pumped into the radiators and in turn will warm up all the rooms at the Youth Village.
Below are photographs of the heating system being built at the Youth Village. I know what your thinking, you were expecting magma flowing out of the ground. So was I. But as this video presentation explains a couple of inches below the ground is enough.
