Bosch Products to be Featured in Eco-community Project MAR 29, 2012 9:55 AM
Endgame: show how Bosch's energy efficient products help produce affordable, sustainable homes.
Bosch Thermotechnology Corp., a leading manufacturer of water source and geothermal heat pumps, solar thermal systems, tankless water heaters, condensing boilers and hot water storage tanks for residential and commercial applications, announced during the 2012 EE Global Conference Virtual Podium Press Event a new partnership with Serenbe, a sustainable eco-conscious community development, that will be the site of a first of its kind experience center designed to showcase the full-line of Bosch energy efficient, sustainable home solutions. In addition, up-to three new homes, equipped with Bosch products, are planned for construction —offering a cost- effective suite of sustainable technologies that will serve as a model for U.S. homeowners looking for a more eco- conscious option.
Serenbe, an award-winning 1000-acre real estate and sustainable farming devel-opment south of Atlanta, will be one of the first communities in the U.S. featuring the Bosch home solutions and will house the Bosch Experience Center – slated for opening in May, 2012.
The first-of-its-kind, the Bosch Experience Center will be powered and fully equipped with products comprising the Bosch home solution suite. Both an educa-tion and interaction hub, the center will offer consumers, trade professionals and in-fluencers in the sustainability space the opportunity to learn about Bosch solutions while serving as a world-class gathering spot for discussions on sustainability re-search and education.
The end goal, according to Bosch officials, is to show how the combination of energy efficient Bosch products are helping produce a new gen-eration of affordable, sustainable homes that greatly reduce demand and monthly costs, and have the potential of giving energy back to the grid in certain configura-tions. Bosch Geothermal Heat Pumps, designed and built domestically in Ft. Lauderdale, FL are at the core of the renewable products comprising the system. The company’s TA Series units are the most efficient Geothermal Heat Pumps on the market and the only complete heating/cooling line that received the Energy Star 2011 Most Efficient recognition. Roof-mounted Bosch photovoltaic solar panels are also used to power the home, while Bosch Compress heat pump water heaters further utilize energy efficient heat pump technology for hot water production.
Tying into the mission statement of Serenbe, the Experience Center will feature a professional-grade kitchen featuring Bosch appliances, winner of the 2012 Energy Star Sustained Excellence Award, where organically grown food from the community will be prepared by world-renown chefs for a variety of planned events and educational seminars. In addition, the Bosch solar system installed in the Experience Center will heat the hot water at the kitchen tap.
