Pivotal to the project are its impressive solar design and energy efficiency. Energy for hot water and heating is mostly generated by the rooftop solar panels, a heat pump system and a geothermalreservoir. Excess energy is stored in a geothermal brine reservoir and released when the weather turns cold.
