Finding this an interesting topic close to my heart, i have been trying to look up some things, particularly geothermal heatpumps in combination with cohousings.
I came accross two cohousings: BioTope (Gent) and Boldershof (Oostende), both have opted for individual geothermal pumps. The most interesting project i find is Biotope, as they were energy ambassadors till Arpil 2024 (focus on circular economy, sustainability,…) and in this role wrote several fiches meant for other projects/architects/… I contacted them to see whether we can receive these documents.
I also saw they opened their doors during the ecobouwers openday last year, but not sure they will participate this year (Open days sustainable houses in Brussels and Flanders) as the ambassador role ended last year. I wouldn’t mind trying to visit them in or outside the context of these open days… I see they organise tours for max 30 people, but at a price of 250 euro.
Having said that, I also agree with Lee, that the architects will need to agree with this, and the fact that this might have a negative impact on the energy community / solidarity aspect (which would make me sad). But maybe one shouldn’t exclude the other…
