The Owner of CURA has considerable professional experience with open-loop aquifer-based Geoexchange systems, having been the principal consultant for the design upgrade of the aquifer-based heat/cool system that operates all of the academic buildings (approximately 1.3 million square feet of facilities) at the University of British Columbia campus in Kelowna, British Columbia, a small sub-community in Kelowna serving approximately 9,200 staff and students.

We also have experience with estimating campus-scale and community-scale heating and cooling loads for various types of buildings as well as cost planning, system evaluations, peer reviews, expert assistance with problem or failed systems, and code compliance reviews.
