NY Libraries Digging Deep for Geothermal Savings

The NYTimes Reports Ossining’s library, on Main Street, is among three in Westchester that have, or plan to install, geothermal systems. One is under construction in Greenburgh, and Mount Kisco plans to break ground in February on a library incorporating the clean-energy technology.

“We wanted to set an example for the community with a building that’s energy-efficient, environmentally friendly and as green as possible,” said James M. Palmer, the village manager.

Geothermal systems have become popular as the price of heating oil soars, and building owners seek to cut the use of fossil fuels.
