Disney and Symbiont: Together
GeoThermal Heating and Cooling have reached the Everglades – in the Disney Wilderness Preserve.
To protect and conserve Florida, The Walt Disney Company purchased land at the head of the Greater Everglades watershed in Kissimmee that was at risk for commercial development. Aside from maintaining the natural ecosystems within the Everglades area, Disney conservation efforts included the use of “Green” technology throughout the land and its properties.
In Spring 2015, the preserve’s Conservation Learning Center building was retrofitted to include GeoThermal Heating and Cooling. The learning center’s heat pumps were replaced with Bosch Thermotechnology Units – installed by Symbiont.
The GeoThermal technology of the Bosch units does not change the chemical composition of the land, sustaining the environmental integrity of the Everglades. Symbiont and Bosch’s collaborative “Green” efforts provide Disney’s Wilderness Preservation Center visitors and staff with comfort, while boasting affordability and energy savings.
The Disney Wilderness Preservation is yet another environmentally sound project that Symbiont Service is proudly involved in.
Symbiont would like to thank Retrofit – a publication and website that specializes in featuring retrofitting projects, for the feature.
