Hydro-Thermal Energy System

A hydro-thermal energy system comprised of:

• at least one extraction pump, wherein each of said at least one extraction pump draws water from a water source;
• at least one fire pump, wherein each of said at least one fire pump provides pressure within said system;
• at least one heat exchanger, wherein each of said at least one heat exchanger provides a source for one or more corresponding buildings to draw energy from to provide heating and into which to deposit energy from one or more corresponding buildings to provide cooling to said one or more corresponding buildings;
• a first length of piping, wherein said first length of piping delivers said water to each of said at least one heat exchanger;
• a second length of piping, wherein said second length of piping discharges said water from each of said at least one heat exchanger;
• at least one tap valve, wherein each of said at least one tap valve provides said water to one of said one or more corresponding buildings;
• and
• at least one diversion junction, wherein each of said at least one diversion junction is mechanically coupled to either said first length of piping or to said second length of piping and delivers said water to a fire protection system within each of said one or more corresponding buildings.

An energy system comprised of:

• at least one extraction pump, each of said at least one extraction pump drawing water from a water source;
• at least one fire pump, each of said at least one fire pump providing pressure within said system;
• at least one heat exchanger, each of said at least one heat exchanger providing a source for one or more corresponding buildings to draw energy from to provide heating and into which to deposit energy from one or more corresponding buildings to provide cooling to said one or more corresponding buildings;
• a first length of piping, said first length of piping delivering said water to each of said at least one heat exchanger;
• a second length of piping, said second length of piping discharging said water from each of said at least one heat exchanger;
• at least one tap valve, each of said at least one tap valve providing said water to one of said one or more corresponding buildings;
• and
• at least one diversion junction, each of said at least one diversion junction mechanically coupled to either said first length of piping or to said second length of piping for delivering said water to a fire protection system within each of said one or more corresponding buildings;
• and
• an emergency generator for providing an alternate source of power in the event of a power loss to said energy system.

A combined hydro-thermal energy and fire protection system comprised of:

• at least one fire pump, wherein each of said at least one fire pump draws water from a natural water source and provides pressure within said system;
• at least one heat exchanger, wherein each of said at least one heat exchanger provides a source for one or more corresponding buildings to draw energy from to provide heating and into which to deposit energy from one or more corresponding buildings to provide cooling to said one or more corresponding buildings;
• a first length of piping, wherein said first length of piping delivers said water to each of said at least one heat exchanger;
• a second length of piping, wherein said second length of piping discharges said water from each of said at least one heat;
• at least one tap valve, wherein each of said at least one tap valve delivers said water to one of said one or more corresponding buildings;
• and
• at least one diversion junction, wherein each of said at least one diversion junction is mechanically coupled to said first length of piping in advance of said at least one tap valve to deliver said water to a fire protection system within one of said at least one corresponding buildings.

A method for providing energy for a heating and cooling system to at least one building in series, said method comprising the steps of:

• drawing water into said system using at least one extraction pump;
• providing pressure within said system using at least one fire pump;
• pumping said water to at least one heat exchanger, said at least one extraction pump in fluidly connected with said at least one heat exchanger by a first length of piping and each of said at least one heat exchanger corresponding to a corresponding building;
• transferring a portion of energy across said at least one heat exchanger to heat or cool said corresponding building;
• discharging said water once it has passed through said at least one heat exchanger, said discharging being accomplished with a second length of piping;
• and
• extracting a portion of said water from said first length of piping or said second length of piping, said portion of said water being used for a fire protection system within said corresponding building.
