The earth is a huge energy storage device that absorbs~47% of the sun’s energy,over 500 times more energy than mankind needs every year-

in the form of clean, renewable energy

NATURAL SELECTION - THE EVOLUTION OF HEATING & COOLING

GeoExchange technology harnesses the Earth’s renewable thermal energy stored just below the surface or in large bodies of water for the purposes of providing forced air heating and cooling, hot and chilled water and dehumidification. The system exchanges the natural heating and cooling properties of the Earth betweena building and the ground. This transfer of energy is the source of enhanced performance and environmental superiority as GeoExchange systems employ a smallamount of electrical energy to capture, move and concentrate a large amount of “free energy” provided by the Earth. The result is the utmost in spaceconditioning.

Extremely Cost Effective - The Elemental operating efficiencies and proprietary state of the art controls can provide upto 70% savings on heating and cooling costs when compared to conventional equipment. As it takes only 1 unit ofelectricity to create 4 units of heat energy, the use of an Elemental equates to tremendous overall efficiency and costsavings.

Enhanced Comfort - Elemental systems produce consistent uniform heating, free of “hot-spots” often seen withfurnaces and other conventional heating appliances, while offering increased dehumidification in cooling mode. Utilitycompany polls indicate a higher level of customer satisfaction for GeoExchange than for conventional systems: more than95 percent of all GeoExchange customers would recommend such systems to a family member or a friend.****

THE ELEMENTAL ADVANTAGE

Safe & Clean - Elemental units produce no carbon monoxide and no greenhouse gas emissions. Simply installing an Elemental system is equivalent to plantingan entire acre of trees or taking two cars off the road.***

Significant ROI - From the moment the highly energy efficient Elemental unit is installed into a residence it is affording the owner a positive return on investment.If the cost of installation is added to a mortgage a home owner can expect a net positive cash flow immediately given the monthly operating savings fromGeoExchange versus otherwise conventional operating costs. In a retrofit situation, home owners will typically recover their initial investment through energysavings over a reasonable period of time. Furthermore, GeoExchange systems can significantly increase property and resale values by potentially offering anincrease in market value of $20 for every $1 of utility bill savings.*****

Flexibility - A single Elemental unit is capable of supplying all of the heating, cooling and domestic hot waterrequired. No matter the climate or location, whether in the Arctic or near the Equator, an Elemental unit willprovide worry-free performance.

Reliability & Maintenance - The Elemental contains few moving parts and can operate reliably for yearswith little maintenance (Approximately one third when compared to conventional HVAC equipment**). Allcomponents within the Elemental product line have been chosen for their long-term reliability and durability.

System Performance and Controls - The industry leading proprietary controls come standard on each andevery Elemental unit. The controller offers precise zone temperature control, overall system monitoring andoptimization, and automatic alert messaging that provides notification if the system is not operating at peakperformance.

R-410A - A high performance refrigerant that can absorb and release heat more efficiently than R22, the former industry standard. R-410A is an environmentally friendly refrigerant that does not deplete the Earth’s ozone layer.

Scroll Compressors - Hermetically sealed scroll compressors provide years of efficient, quiet and reliable performance. The compressors synthetic lubricants mix and circulate efficiently with R-410A keeping the compressor and other moving parts resistant to internal damage while extending their life.

Steel Cabinet - The outer steel cabinet is fully insulated, ceramic coated and corrosion resistant providing for system longevity, quiet operation and long lasting beauty.

Oversized Heat Exchangers - Tangaroa systems are designed with oversized coaxial heat exchangers that produce increased operating efficiencies and greater cost savings.

Analog Temperature Sensors - Sensors are located at key control points, allowing for real time performance data collection to assist the “smart” controls for optimal unit operation.

10 Year Limited Warranty - When you purchase a Geofinity Tangaroa model, relax and enjoy the comfort. The Tangaroa carries a 10 year limited warranty - flexible warranty buy-down options are also available.

The Elemental Tangaroa is a high efficiency, eco-friendly reversible hydronic system that provides heating & chilled water at a fraction of the cost and energy required of conventional systems. The Tangaroa is engineered exclusively with the green, performance enhancing refrigerant R410A and integrates the most advanced user-friendly controls available on the market today. Tangaroa units can provide for direct hydronic heating & cooling, radiant floor heating, domestic hot water, pool/ spa, and/or snow melt applications.

OPTIONS TO MEET YOUR EVERY NEED

Dual Speed Compressor - A two-stage scroll compressor provides the ultimate in comfort and efficiency. When only partial conditioning is required, the compressor operates at a lower capacity to save additional energy while always maintaining a pleasant living environment.

Desuperheater - This hot water assist add-on provides supplemental Domestic Hot Water production by preheating your potable water supply for delivery to your hot water tank whenever the unit is running. All Tangaroa models equipped with a Desuperheater option are installed with an internally mounted circulating pump.

Cupronickel Heat Exchanger - Cupronickel is used for those applications where harsh water conditions exist on the source and/or load side.

GEOEXCHANGE LOOP-FIELD CONFIGURATIONS

Geofinity installers are trained to assess and provide the optimum type of geo-field design for each specific project site. The most favorable loop configuration will be determined through consideration of geological conditions, available land space, drilling & trenching requirements and the ensuing overall installation costs.

ELEMENTAL CONTROLS - IT’S “SMART” TECHNOLOGY

Geofinity has incorporated proprietary controls into it’s entire product line, designed to regulate and monitor the system for maximum efficiencies. No other equipment in the GeoExchange space possesses the same “integrated” controls capabilities. The controller houses a keypad and a liquid crystal diode, or LCD screen.

The LCD screen constantly displays active and stored data, providing the operator with quality of service and performance. The keypad is outfitted with simple, easy to understand, colored pads and directional arrows that simplify data collection and storage. The system is designed to provide standard notifications, such as the outside temperature, set point and inside temperature, troubleshooting notifications, as well as changeover from heating to cooling and the existence of a fouled or dirty air filter.

Open-Loop SystemThis type of system is used when an abundant supply of quality well water is available. Ground water is withdrawn from the aquifer/well and pumped into the heat pump. The discharge water is directed to a secondary well. The supply aquifer/well must have adequate capacity to provide flow for the heat pump and domestic water.

Pond/Lake LoopIf the site has an adequate body of water close to the residence, approx. 1/2 acre by 8 feet deep, this may be the lowest cost option. Supply and return pipes are run underground from the home to the pond/lake and connected to a series of closed coils. These coils are submerged to the bottom of the pond/lake.

Vertical LoopVertical systems are used when land area is limited. For a vertical system, holes are drilled 10-20 feet apart and 100-400 feet deep in a grid matrix. A pair of pipes that are connected at the bottom with a U-bend are inserted into each bore hole. The pipes are then manifolded together and brought into the home.

Horizontal LoopThis type of installation is generally the most cost-effective for residential installations where sufficient land is available. It requires trenches to be dug by a backhoe or trencher to approximately 6 feet. GeoExchange pipe is then layered in the trenches, and the trenches are backfilled with soil.

Some of the primary realized benefits are:•Multi-zone comfort - offers 15 zones standard with potential for up to 99 •An LCD screen and simple keypad are incorporated into the controller to promote equipment functionality through ease of use•The system can be upgraded to become interoperable with other building management systems and create an integrated “smart building”
