Overview

Universities and schools require energy systems that are durable, efficient, and aligned with sustainability commitments. The Genesys CLAD® system is designed to serve these needs – supporting both new construction and retrofits across complex and phased campus projects. Our scalable CLAD® technology leverages the earth’s stable water temperatures underground for sustainable heat transfer, enabling these institutions to decarbonize heating and cooling while reducing long-term costs, with a significantly smaller footprint than conventional geothermal systems.

Geothermal FAQs

What is a CLAD® system?

The CLAD® system is a groundbreaking, patented heat transfer solution in the geothermal industry, consisting of supply and diffusion wells to harness the stable temperatures underground and advective properties of water to exchange heat.

How does CLAD® differ from conventional geothermal heating and cooling?

Traditional geothermal closed-loop systems often face challenges such as significant land requirements and the need for deeper drilling, which can complicate installation.  

CLAD® effectively addresses these issues by significantly lowering installation costs and reducing the land needed for drilling. Our technology achieves this by leveraging more heat exchange capacity from fewer wells. This not only simplifies the installation process but also boosts performance.

What makes this solution a more sustainable option for heating & cooling?

At Genesys, reducing our environmental impact is foundational to our mission as a clean technology company. Our geothermal heating and cooling solutions deliver enhanced energy efficiency, lower carbon emissions, and responsible resource management.

Decarbonization: 
Through the use of renewable thermal energy, our technology replaces the reliance on fossil fuels used in traditional HVAC systems.

Groundwater Preservation: Our patented design keeps groundwater below the surface and free from any potential contamination. Our solutions operate with zero water depletion, returning every drop back to the same aquifer.
