Dagher Engineering PLLC | e-House, Stone Ridge, NY

Teaming with Michael McDonough, one of the pre-eminent leaders in the field of sustainable architecture was a natural fit for Dagher Engineering. The residence, designed by Mr. McDonough to embody concepts promoting the conservation of energy and the use of sustainable resources was ideally suited for the application of compressor-free geothermal-based air conditioning system.

The e-House’s compression-free geothermal cooling system has the ability to revolutionize the way buildings are air-conditioned. By allowing the absorption of enough building heat gain solely from ground water, this system no longer relies on the traditional compressor, ubiquitous since the development of the refrigeration cycle. Through the development of this system, previously thought improbable, Dagher Engineering developed an extraordinary method of space cooling that can easily become the standard for future residential housing developments, both in the U.S. and worldwide. NYSERDA funded the first successful research and development study of the residence’s geothermal system to establish the viability of the design.

Inexpensive: Costs only marginally more than conventional system to install.
Efficient: Uses 16% of the energy required for a conventional Air Conditioning system and 75% less energy than a conventional geothermal system.
Sustainable: No environmentally damaging refrigerants are used in this technology.
Versatile: Ease of installation and operation make this system ideal for both the developed and developing world.
Revolutionary: This technology can drastically reduce energy consumption and pollution worldwide.
