Geothermal Innovation Featured by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers

Prestigious Engineering Group Showcases Cutting-Edge Sustainable Engineering Solutions

ARMONK, NY, APRIL 08, 2025 – Brightcore Energy, a leader in developing and implementing renewable energy solutions for the commercial and institutional market, announced that the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has produced a video showcasing the company’s work at The Beresford, a nearly century-old, co-op building on the National Register of Historic Places and a New York City designated landmark.

ASME, a leading global professional engineering organization, recognized the project as a model of innovation and technical expertise as part of its video series celebrating trailblazing engineering research and solutions. Underscoring Brightcore’s role in advancing sustainable energy solutions, the video highlights the potential for geothermal and high-efficiency building systems to transform legacy properties and the feasibility of doing so.

“We are extremely proud to have ASME recognize the innovation and expertise behind our work at The Beresford,” said Mike Richter, President of Brightcore Energy. “This project proves that no building is too complex for decarbonization, and we hope it inspires the next generation of engineers to take on the challenge of expanding the market to deploy cutting-edge clean energy technologies to optimize performance.”

“ASME is pleased to showcase innovative engineering solutions such as The Beresford’s transition to an energy-efficient geothermal system,” said ASME Executive Director/CEO Tom Costabile. “The video series is one way that ASME engages the engineering community and contributes to advancing critical technologies for improved energy reliability, affordability, and resource transition. Congratulations to the Brightcore team on a pivotal project.”

The video also demonstrates the significant roles engineers play in assessing the feasibility of potential projects. By combining their expertise, advanced technology, and innovation, cutting-edge geothermal solutions can be implemented even in space-constrained urban environments. Brightcore Energy’s work at The Beresford shows how modern energy solutions can be integrated into architecturally and historically significant buildings.
