Kargil: A week ago, the Kargil administration decided to put the geothermal heating installation to test its efficiency and feasibility in the extreme cold, and if it remains successful, the district is likely to replicate the energy system.
Chief Executive Councillor of LAHDC Kargil, Feroz Ahmad Khan on June 20 had convened a meeting with the representatives of Northern ECO Earth Design Solution, a Consultancy and Architecture Firm which gave a detailed presentation on geothermal heating system, green buildings and highlighted its advantages.
The meeting had decided to identify one Health Sub-Centre in Kargil for the pilot project in the extreme cold area so that its success can be tested so that in future, the project could be replicated at a larger scale.
