A new 57,000 sf elementary school. Construction consisted of all utilities, landscaping, paving, geothermal field, new synthetic turf ball field, mechanical yard, on and offsite utilities and new roadways. The school is heated and cooled via a geothermal system using a hybrid ground source heat exchanger with ground loop design using ultra-high efficiency split units and normal water-to-air units. This system is anticipated to provide 110% heating and 60% cooling for the school. The cost of the system should be realized within 14 years.
