PWGC designed a state-of-the-art geothermal heating and cooling system—the largest municipal system of its kind to date—for the renovation of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC. Replacing its previous system of steam radiators and 1960s-era air conditioning, the cathedral now has a perimeter of 10 wells as deep as 2,200 feet into the Manhattan bedrock, collecting groundwater that helps the church efficiently heat and cool.
