Description of the excursion:

This excursion explains the use of geothermal energy. Geothermal energy (or geothermal utilisation) uses the seemingly cold ground to heat a house. How this works and what role the heat pump plays in this is clearly explained using a spray can and air pump. The excursion programme is rounded off with a rally along the company's own geothermal nature trail and a short film on geothermal energy.
