The earth is heating up at a historic rate. <\/p>\n<p>While this seems like boring old fact by now, it will have very real impacts on our everyday lives. To put it in perspective, <a href=\"http:\/\/Climate Central\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Climate Central<\/a> developed this interactive map that charts these effects of climate change and what 1,001 cities will look like in the year 2100 if temperatures continue to rise at the rate they currently are. The results \u2014 both the future average temperature in the summer and number of days below freezing in the winter \u2014\u00a0are shocking.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"583\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"http:\/\/www.climatecentral.org\/wgts\/CityFutureTemps\/index.html?utm_source=ext&amp;utm_medium=embed&amp;utm_campaign=CityFutureTemps\" width=\"600\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><i>Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.climatecentral.org\/wgts\/CityFutureTemps\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Climate Central<\/a>. To see the other map and how winter is losing its edge, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.climatecentral.org\/news\/winter-is-losing-its-cool-18635\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>For example, according to the summer graph, New York will see its average summer high soar from 82.4\u00b0F to 91.8\u00b0F, making it feel more like Lehigh Acres, Florida. An increase of over 10% in less than 100 years, this is a drastic change in climate \u2014 but it is typical of the interactive graph, which presents tangible examples of exactly what scientists have been saying. The magnitude of the shift makes a strong case to consider alternatives to fossil fuels, since they are the main cause of the problem.<\/p>\n<p>How will we cool our homes in the hotter post-fossil-fuel climate? One answer is geothermal energy, which uses the earth&#8217;s constant temperature to cool in the winter and heat in the summer. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/blogs\/thetwo-way\/2015\/02\/10\/385195282\/upcycling-underground-huge-bike-park-opens-in-former-limestone-mine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Below ground, the temperature is a stable 50-ish degrees<\/a>, so climate change will not affect it as fast as it will the air. Geothermal works by running pipes down through the 50\u00b0F earth, using them to cool water that is pumped down and back up. When it returns, it has been cooled. Thus, geothermal cooling systems are much more eco-friendly than their carbon-burning counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some examples of buildings from the <a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/q\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Architizer database<\/a> that use geothermal technology to heat and cool without hurting the planet.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/462009\/f4a31aa6.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/462009\/f4a31aa6.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/462009\/f4a31aa6.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/462009\/f4a31aa6.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/462009\/f4a31aa6.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/mediadata\/projects\/462009\/f4a31aa6.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\u00a9 Steven Holl Architects\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n\t<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Steven Holl Architects<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.architizer.com\/en_us\/projects\/view\/linked-hybrid\/1052\/#.UPaTzonjmXQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Linked Hybrid<\/a><\/b>by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.architizer.com\/en_us\/firms\/view\/steven-holl-architects\/28\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Steven Holl Architects<\/a>, Beijing, China<\/p>\n<p>655 geothermal wells cool and heat the apartments, offices, and shops of this enormous green complex.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/legacy_blog\/2013\/04\/CSL-Exterior-006_CREDIT-Denmarsh-Photography-Inc-copy.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/legacy_blog\/2013\/04\/CSL-Exterior-006_CREDIT-Denmarsh-Photography-Inc-copy.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/legacy_blog\/2013\/04\/CSL-Exterior-006_CREDIT-Denmarsh-Photography-Inc-copy.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/legacy_blog\/2013\/04\/CSL-Exterior-006_CREDIT-Denmarsh-Photography-Inc-copy.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/legacy_blog\/2013\/04\/CSL-Exterior-006_CREDIT-Denmarsh-Photography-Inc-copy.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/legacy_blog\/2013\/04\/CSL-Exterior-006_CREDIT-Denmarsh-Photography-Inc-copy.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/phipps.conservatory.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens<\/b><\/a> by Design Alliance Architects, Pittsburgh, PA<\/p>\n<p>This education facility aims to be the first building to meet the Living Building Challenge (net-zero water, net-zero energy), LEED Platinum, and Sustainable Sites Initiative certification.
