Why use a geothermal heat pump system at the high school?
The current heating and cooling systems are inefficient, provide inconsistent heating and in some cases can no longer be repaired. The district considered many different options for upgrading or replacing the systems in the schools. After much discussion and engineering assistance from the district’s architects and construction managers, a geothermal heat pump system was agreed on for the high school primarily because it would provide significant energy savings. Geothermal heat pump systems are quieter and require less maintenance than conventional air-ventilation systems, and are environmentally friendly. Geothermal heat pump systems have been in use for more than 20 years with thousands of installations nationwide, including in many different school and business locations.
