Montreal Bioshpere

Ice Rink  Installation (My Favorite, of course)

Not only are the arena operators pleased with the system’s low maintenance, they are delighted with the energy savings attributable to the integrated geothermal system. The comfort of the viewing area, lockers and community hall has improved.
