#geothermal, #savewater

Taurus Downtown Technopark, the mixed-use, IT office and social infrastructure project planned in Technopark Phase III, will have some innovative features. Taurus Investment Holdings (TIH), developers of the five-million-sq-ft facility, is planning to introduce features that will make it more energy efficient.
TIH is planning to use geothermal cooling system for its air conditioners. Ajay Prasad, country head of Taurus, said that the geothermal cooling system will help save around 280 million litres of water per day. “Saving 280 million litres per day will be a major step in water conservation considering the fact that the daily requirement of water in the city is almost the same,” said Ajay. The quantity of water supplied by Kerala water authority to the city is 300 mld.
