In late March, UC Berkeley engineers drilled a borehole that extends 400 feet below ground, providing the first opportunity to study the properties of the bedrock that sits below campus. The information they gather will help determine whether a geothermal heat pump system — which uses the thermal properties of subsurface rock to help heat and cool buildings more efficiently — could be integrated into the campus’s long-term plans for decarbonization.
