Geothermal energy is heat stored within the Earth's crust, in rocks, soil and groundwater. Depending on the system used, this heat can be used for heating and cooling buildings and for other energy applications.
At the Oberholz mountain hut in Obereggen, geothermal energy is used as part of the building's heating and cooling system.
The geothermal system uses heat from the ground to provide energy for the mountain hut. It is one of several technical solutions used at Oberholz for the operation of the building.
