RE: Gibsons Developments - Parkland, its Mews, and Gospel Rock
I took a look at the Parkland development a short time ago. There seems to be a bit of activity with the Longman outfit. I have no feel for the quality of their work, but some people seem to think highly of them (comments?)
The "geothermal" heating is a bit of a cheat as it only involves putting piping and some fluid underground, pumping it around and allowing the various properties to access it by heat pumps. Perhaps this was done to get a nice subsidy from the Liberal Gov't. (just like the greenwash outfit Nexterra milked the gov't for biomass gasification.) I am not sure where the "risky" part comes from unless there are potential problems with the fluid transport system. The sustainability freak, Tom Murphy (http://physics.ucsd.edu/do-the-math/), doesn't have too much use for geothermal - in the real or "fake" form and thinks that energy savings can be obtained elsewhere. He has a fetish for detail just like Mr. skook. I especially recommend his blog on the "Alternative Energy Matrix" (http://physics.ucsd.edu/do-the-math/2012...gy-matrix/) Despite the "problems" with this development a unit like: SL44 Gerussi Lane (V1013050) @ 329K seems like a lot better deal than the following rip at the Shaw Rd. Geezerplex, "Country village" 3 - 535 Shaw Rd. (V1031581) 359K |
