Ground Source Systems was started in late 2012 after the need to reduce the use of LPG was found whilst visiting a poultry broiler farm. In partnership with the Universities of Melbourne & Berkley, funding was obtained from the ARC to carry out a trial. This trail resulted in one shed being fitted with the ground source heat pump equipment and a second being the control for compairing results. Since November 2019 the system has been operating with each progressive batch providing insight into improving operation with results of a reduction of gas usage of between 75 and 88%.
